Directions

I had a crown put in my back , lower,left side of my mouth. It started to hurt after a couple days, very badly. Went back to the dentist he said that it was the bite; drilled, threw cold water on it, and the pain was unbearable. Went to ER with infection on the mouth that night; it was prescribed Penicillin 500mg. After 5 days there is still sensitivity on it. What happened? Obs. Dentist never gave me antibiotics.

Anonymous Patient

Most likely the nerve of the tooth got infected. It could be related to the crown work or just a coincidence that the nerve of the tooth reacted after the crown was placed. In any case, most likely the tooth needs nerve treatment (i.e. root canal), which sounds bad but its really not. I would recommend you having the treatment done by a root canal specialist. Good luck.
