I just got a permanent crown put on my root canal tooth and 2 days later, i have pain when eating something hard or crunchy. My root canal was done 7 years ago and i have had no problems but it was recommended to put a crown on it so i did.
i went back to my dentist who put on the crown to let him know i was having pain. he checked the bite and said it is fine, gave me antiobiotics and referred me to a specialist to look at the root canal.
why would getting a crown cause pain when 1. the root should be dead and 2. i had no pain for several years? is it possible the antibiotics will solve the problem?
Thanks for advice.
