Why is My Dental Crown Painful After Six Months?

Decay beneath the crown can occur if there is a gap or opening between the crown and the tooth, allowing bacteria to infiltrate and cause decay.

Treatment may involve removing the crown, addressing the decay, and placing a new crown.

Infections can develop within the crowned tooth, leading to pain and discomfort.

Root canal therapy may be required to remove infected pulp, followed by crown replacement.

Irritation or inflammation of the gums around the crowned tooth can cause soreness.

Improving oral hygiene, using a soft-bristle toothbrush, and addressing any gum issues can alleviate soreness.

If the crown does not fit properly, it can lead to pain and discomfort.

Adjusting or replacing the ill-fitting crown is necessary to ensure a proper fit.

Receding gums expose the sensitive tooth roots, leading to pain around the crowned tooth.

Managing gum recession through proper oral care and, in some cases, grafting procedures can address the issue.

Gargling with a saltwater solution can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications can provide temporary relief from pain and swelling. Follow the recommended dosage.

Applying a cold compress can help numb the area and alleviate pain.

Oil pulling and gentle flossing can help remove any lodged debris and contribute to oral hygiene.
