Dental Advice - All Ceramic vs PFM Crown?

IanGC_2

The sharp pains have now gone (and I've had the bite fixed on Tues, it feels miles better now) - but I'm getting random toothache now. It's woken me up a couple of times, and seems to come on after eating - luckily painkillers work well on it.

Do you think it's likely I'll need a root canal, or is it too early to say? I'm going back for the final crown fit on Wed, so I really hope it improves by then.

The final crown has been fitted now, but I'm still getting this toothache. The dentist seemed to think this was still nothing to worry about - but it's enough to wake me up in the night.

I can deal with the pain for a while longer to see if it goes, as painkillers work well when it flares up - I'm just worried it will get worse when I'm on holiday in June for a couple of weeks.

By June it should either be perfectly OK, or it will have shown itself up as a real problem.

I must say it doesn't sound brilliant, but go with your dentist's advice so long as it gradually seems to be settling.

If it takes a turn for the worst - then get straight back.

Thanks for the advice toothsmith, it's a massive relief to know that I should know either way by June

Will they be able to drill through my all ceramic crown (Procera I think) to do a RCT if needed?

I went back today as the pain still persists, but the dentist thinks it could be ligament bruising. I'll give it a couple more weeks and see if the pain goes, as I'm looking forward to eating crunchy stuff again
