Root Canal + Crown Question

In early September I had a root canal. It was for one tooth (upper back molar) and prior to that I was in severe pain. I would wake with pain that would radiate down my jaw and through my teeth on that side.

Root canal solved the pain problem. I felt amazing even with the temporary filling.

Two weeks later I go to my dentist and get a temporary crown. I actually get 2 crowns because the tooth next door to the root canal needed one as well. After the temp crowns are in place I notice a few days later I’m in mild pain. It’s not waking me up or anything but it’s definitely noticeable.

A week after the temp crown I get my permanent crowns. This is kind of a rough procedure because the temps wouldn’t come off and they had to numb me multiple times. That was Monday - today is Thursday and my pain is increasing. It’s not waking or pulsing but it’s definitely requiring round-the-clock ibuprofen. Any ideas? Is this normal?

New dentist - had a weird experience

Hi! I’ve been going to Davis Dental for years and have loved them and recommended to everyone. After today I don’t want to go back.

Trying to make this long story short: I went to get a tooth looked at, was assuming it was a root canal, had a dentist I haven’t seen before. A lot of other things happened (not just looking at the tooth) which may or may not be normal but nothing was explained to me. I felt like I couldn’t trust the prognosis because they were doing so much upselling? Felt like I was at a shady car mechanic?

Anyway:

Anyone got anyone else they love? Especially for root canals etc? Prefer to stay in Highlands / St. Matt’s area.

New here…. Think I’m finding my people

Hello! I’m 38 y/o and currently up at 3 am after a nightmare and looking for some answers. I keep thinking I’m pregnant (but my husband had a vasectomy) and I’m afraid to google too much because I have pretty bad health anxiety. Here is what I am dealing with.

-3 day periods but day 2 is unmanageable. Like, bleeding through ultra tampons and pads every 30 minutes. And then day 3 just spotting.
-restless and painful legs at night. I have to sleep with a pillow in between my knees because it feels like they are knocking together.
-the week before my period (luteal phase I think?) I have pretty weird dreams (sometimes nightmares, sometimes not) and I wake up right at 3 am. This week in particular I’ve been woken up with extreme leg pain.
-bursts of rage with my children. It’s summer and I don’t work in the summer and I’ve been feeling so guilty because I’m spending all my time snapping at them. I just thought this was the summer doldrums, but the rage is so bright and specific and all consuming I’m wondering if this is something else.

If this is perio, I’m feeling quite sad and scared. These symptoms aren’t fun and if I’m at the beginning I assume they only get worse as this progresses.

I am relieved to find this community.
