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?
