What Is The Cause For Pain Under Chin After Crowns Placed On Upper Back Molars When On Ibuprofen?

I have been having pain under chin periodically since spring 2013. Tightness and burning, like inflammation. Had
2crowns placed upper 2 back molars, and started noticing sx's not too long afterwards. Dental x-rays have been
Done and dentist sees no problem. Internist felt maybe was nerve related. Sx's prevalent at night and will
Awaken me at times. Ibuprofen does seem to give some relief. Periodically especially in am feel a lump in the
back of my throat. After exam md notices no swelling of glands. Any suggestions? Thank you

hi thanks for your query. the problem you are complaining might be because of high points on the crown getting in contact with the opposing teeth or overzealous crown cutting resulting in exposure of nerve or recession of the gum line resulting in periodontal problem or in general crown is placed over a root canal treated tooth. if there is little amount of pulp tissue left behind this results in pain after crown placement.treatment can be planned by ruling out these conditions.visit endodontist.hope this is helpful.
