Question: I recently got into a minor car accident. I was hit behind in traffic. Did not seem serious. Although after the accident one of my dental crowns began to hurt and feel sore. Is this a normal thing to happen after getting minor whiplash?

Hi
Welcome to the HEALTH CARE MAGIC...

I have gone through your query can understand your concern.

Às per your complain loosing of crown and soreness of tooth after road traffic accident is clear indication that you have got trauma to the tooth that is leading to the symptoms that you are experiencing..

It is not normal finding and you need to consult a Dentist and get evaluated.

He can take an x-ray to check exact condition of the tooth
as there are chances of tooth fracture due to injury.

You can also revert back with X-ray that I can guide you further.
