my boyfriend went to the dentist because his tooth cracked, the dentist said it wasnt a root canal so they cleaned it and then put a grown on it, the grown felt loose so he went back and they did some more things to the tooth and then put another grown on it, he wont get his perm. grown till 5/6/2014. ever since he left the dentist on 4/18/2014 he has had this horrible pain he says he feels like the nerve. they said it shouldnt be hurting so he is going back tomorrow, i feel like they dont know what they are doing, every time he goes there for help they just add more pain. is this normal to have this pain while having a temp. grown on the tooth or is something wrong? please help
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when a tooth is fractured horizontally, and the fractured line goes between crown and root of teeth then you should go for root canal treatment of tooth. But if the fracture of tooth is vertical, or it is below the root level or in between root, then you should go for removal of tooth. Because in these fractures no fillings or crown is helpful. So better you should go for removal of his tooth. Hope it will help you.
