Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain if you have a temporary crown over your tooth since 2 weeks and you still have pain it is not a normal finding and needs consultation with a dentist to rule out the cause of pain..
As of now you can take
Advil [Ibuprofen] for relieving pain rather that
tylenol as advil is more effective in reducing pain and inflammation..
I would like to give you an additional information that if after 2 weeks also you have pain in the tooth with a temporary crown, you need to
consult a dentist and get evaluated and also get an IOPAR [ x ray] done to rule out the exact cause of pain.
At times high points over the crown can be a cause of pain and trimming of the same can relieve the pain..
Other causes can be:
If the tooth is root canal treated before crown placement there re-infection in the tooth can be a cause of pain and in that case removal of crown followed by repetition of
root canal treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers and replacement of crown will relieve..
If root canal treatment was not done there is a possibility that while preparing the tooth to retain the crown there have been some
nerve exposure and inflammation of nerve is causing pain..
In this case root canal treatment has to be done after removing crown and then crown has to be replaced..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
