Abscess tooth with crown

Common Questions and Answers about Abscess tooth with crown

abscess

Avatar f tn I believe Crown failures are common after 5 -15 years, simply because bacteria will get inside of the crown and have a field day with your tooth, all the while the bacteria are protected from removal, hidden by the crown. Many Dentists does not communicate this reality when they sell you on getting the crown. An Endodontics can do the root canal without removing the crown, they just drill through the crown, do the root canal and seal entry of the crown. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn Do you think this is a definite sign of a tooth abscess due to the trauma of the crown? When I called about the appointment, they were already talking about the possibility of being referred to an endodontist for a potential root canal. Is this my only option? Can I not just kill off the infection with antibiotics? I broke the bank on the crown (no dental insurance), and I simply cannot afford another expensive procedure.
Avatar f tn m having are more consistent with a problem with the gums than with the tooth. To test this, I took a q-tip and placed it in ice water and applied it to the bottom side of the tooth and I felt absolutely nothing. What is the remedy for this type of situation other than a root canal. Please help me. I am devastated at this point at the series of events I've experienced in the last six months. Any inofrmation you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your time.
Avatar m tn She prepped the tooth for the crown and said that due to this problem with the temp filling and the fact that the hole went close to the root cavity I may need RCT. Since I was not in pain and there was nothing evident on the x-ray, she said she would put temp crown on and when perm crown came in she would put it on with temp cement for a few months to see if there was a problem. The temp crown was fine for a few days, except the bite was too high.
Avatar m tn t so bad and sometimes I forget I even have a crown back there. It looks and feels like a tooth.
Avatar n tn My biggest concern is that when I push against the bump either with my tongue or with my finger, the crown begins to hurt. It does not hurt to brush the crown and doesn't hurt normally. It only hurts when I push on the bump. When I push on the bump, no pus or blood comes out. I am not a smoker so I am not really concerned with it being cancer. I am thinking more on the lines of something with the root, but wouldn't the pain be worse?
Avatar n tn The crowned tooth and now even the surrounding teeth are sensitive to hot/cold and bitter/sweet. Teeth around the crown have shifted and are our of alignment. If I rinse with salt water, it hurts. It is soooo sensitive. What could be wrong?
Avatar f tn I had crowning last week on my incisor tooth. The next day after i had the crown i felt an throbing pain on the crowned tooth. I went to the doctor and he advised me of doing root canal. 2 days later he cleaned my canal and injected antibiotics in my canals. My question is that 1) In how many days abscess is going to heal? 2) why he didnt prescirbed me any antibiotics? 3) if the infection is healed can i put crown without doing root canal?
Avatar m tn //www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tooth-abscess/symptoms-causes/syc-20350901 This article that you can copy and paste into your browser describes what an infection might feel like. Sensitivity to hot or cold, throbbing pain, sensitivity to chewing or biting, etc. Is this the kind of pain you feel? Or more likely has the broke tooth damaged or affected the root? That's another reason they are suggesting you may have to have a root canal in the end.
Avatar n tn The root canal shouldn't have much to do with your gums. Did you have an abscess or severe swelling initially?
Avatar f tn Your English is just fine. You need to go to the dentist!!!! Infections spread rapidly in the mouth!!! Do you mean an abscess or a tumor. Abscess if you don't know is usually an infection under the tooth in the roots. I know it can be expensive but you shouldn't be in this discomfort! They use different antibiotics for different infections. I do wonder why you didn't go back before this! Dental pain can be so bad. Take care.
1930934 tn?1323212204 I research on the web and I had read that gargling a warm water with salt is good to clean tooth especially when abscess occur so I follow the tip the site gave. The swelling area subside for a week but still I can feel the hard part just above my canine tooth. Now, it swells again. My questions are: Is this a dental abscess? How long it takes to extract canine tooth because this is the longest tooth we have?
Avatar f tn It would have to be the oral surgeon that orders this as I know the Proto who makes the crown will not. I feel the crown on #7 2 years ago, with the post and core had something to do with the severe infection. Tonight is the first time in almost one month that the tooth has quieted down. I was on levaquin and then Augmentin and no help. Amoxicillan 500 seems to be doing soemthing. I am glad to learn how improtant ^7 is. Thank You for the link. I am going there now.
Avatar n tn I had a tooth with a large filling it. A large portion of the tooth chipped off. As expected, I needed a crown. So the doctor drilled the tooth away and say there was a cavity underneath the filling, and so he said he had to go very close to the nerve. I have no sensitivity to hot/cold, but I can "feel" the tooth biting down on it. Not sure if that makes sense. It doesn't necessarily hurt, I just feel pressure on that tooth/temporary crown much more.
Avatar m tn 2 months ago i decided to have 2 new crowns for my front teeth for cosmetic reasons (#8 already post crown with RCT 15 years back). I am 39 years old. Following the crown procedure (2 weeks after) i experienced intermittent pain in the previously healthy tooth (#9) and had to embark on 3 weeks of treatment / draining etc. due to abscess formation. The tooth was left 'open' for 2 weeks during this time to to the infection which eventually subsided.
Avatar f tn I had a crown put on a broken tooth 10 days ago. I still have an ulcer and quite a bit of pain on the gum under the crown. The novacaine injection hurt terribly, like never before. Could there have been some damage that I still have pain. The office told me to keep gargling with salt water. But after 10 days, the ulcer from what I think was trauma from the instruments is still here. Can this trauma cause an abscess?
20847907 tn?1534539744 can tooth abscess cause a lymph node to rise i had it removed and the dentist said that there was an infection inside the tooth under the crown ( he said the tooth was split via xray ) but as he took the tooth out he said it had infection of it and gave me antibiotics
Avatar f tn The only possible reason for this abscess that I can think of is that about a year ago, my front tooth got the corner chipped off. Please respond asap... I am a worrier!! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/652619'>dental abscess</a>.
Avatar n tn Hi, Since last year my crown cracked on my left side (3rd to last) and started cracking away until there was a hole in place of the crown. Starting early last week on 9/8 when I woke up in the morning, there was a sudden pain in the 2nd to the last teeth on my last side (teeth after my cracked crown). The pain lasted till today 9/16. Everytime I chew, it hurts and sometimes when I brush my teeth it hurts as well and it bleeds a little.
Avatar f tn I had a tooth filled 2 weeks ago and a lot of throbbing of my nerver has been going on by that tooth. Going on into the 3rd week, I woke up and noticed my face on the side the tooth was pulled is swollen. What is wrong and how can I resolve this problem?
Avatar n tn I was never informed that a root canal may need to be done after or any complications involved with a Crown. I had the crown done 2 weeks ago (permanent one office visit) and have had problems ever since, jaw pain, tooth sensitivity, after 5 adjustments, this is ridiculous. Ive used all my insurance money on the stupid crown and if my dentist is going to recommend a root canal and anther crown I am going to lose it. What happens if they just pull the tooth?
Avatar n tn I have an abscess that developed at the root underneath the crown. My options another root canal, pull tooth, c how infection clears depending how severe or a little bit more drilling if tooth is decayed. I hope this puts your thoughts at ease. My apt is today. I'll let know how it turned out.
Avatar n tn Well I just went to the dentist AGAIN this morning. He found a small abscess at the end of my tooth, which he drained. He stuffed my tooth with foam to help it continue to drain. I hope this was the cause of my pain and discomfort, but I wont know until the numbing wears off.
Avatar n tn Do you think an implant would be the best option given the strong possibility I have a loose crown with probable tooth decay?
Avatar f tn I was still hitting that crown , and the pain with each bite became more constant. I had swelling and chills and fever and begged her for days for an antibiotic which she finally filled. I believe I had an abscess. I went to two more Dentist's the next week who confirmed the bite was wrong. One gave me a new temp. crown and now I could bite perfectly . Only problem is the pain and throbbing had already become and still is constant. Tylenol knocks in out for a few hours and then it is back.
