Dental Crown & Bridges Treatment in Tambaram Chennai
Dental crowns are essential when fillings are insufficient to heal a tooth. Aside from that, crown implantation is necessary to restore the shape and appearance of a fractured, cracked, or damaged tooth. If you have previously gotten Root Canal Treatment, you will be familiar with the use of dental caps to contain the drill used to access the inside of the infected tooth.
In this blog post, our prosthodontists discuss the most prevalent causes of pain in temporary dental crowns.
Why do dentists place temporary crowns?
Temporary crowns similarly resemble the shape of your teeth, but they are more weak than permanent ones.
Provisional crowns are responsible for the following until the permanent crowns are placed:
1) Protecting the tooth's treated parts.
2) Help the patient eat and chew.
3) Prevent sensitivity in the repaired tooth.
4) Maintain the gap between the treated tooth and the surrounding teeth.
What are the possible causes of temporary crown pain?
Temporary crown pain can be caused by infections in the treated tooth, poor crown construction, and other factors. The main reasons of pain in temporary crowns are:
1) Improper fitting of a crown
2) Infection inside the tooth
3) Sore Gums
4) Teeth Grinding
What should you do to alleviate temporary crown pain?
Mild discomfort is not unusual following the insertion of a crown, whether temporary or permanent. If the discomfort worsens or last for more than two weeks, see your dentist.
If the temporary crown pain is caused by something minor, dentists offer numbing gels, over-the-counter pain medications, and nocturnal mouth guards to alleviate it.
Similarly, home therapies such as gargling with salt water and applying ice packs can provide relief from pain in your temporary crowns.
