Recently a couple of months ago I had revieved a silver crown on my last tooth on my upper right jaw.This morning while I had brushed my teeth I felt a very unusual cold sensation this morning on the cap and as I brushed I bit down on my tooth brush and felt a horrible pain on the silver crown I cant even continue to eat my lunch and dinner without switching my position and chewing on my left side of mouth.Are there any suggestions to stop the pain?Gargle my mouth with salt water?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The pain and sensation with the silver crowning may be due to-Gingival recession or periodontitis associated with the crowned tooth. Get the crown removed and clinical and x-ray check-up has to be done. Use desensitizing toothpaste to brush your teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice daily using soft-bristled toothbrush. Use chorhexidine mouth rinse to gargle. Take care.
