Hopefully, you have dental insurance, at which point, you should request an appointment with your local dentistry office. However, if you don't, it is highly reccommended in my opinion that you go to the Department of Social Services or your local Medicare/Medicaid office and request to be given state/federal-financed insurance. Until then, you shoudl take some pain medications, but be sure to use in moderation!

When you have a dental crown, it is less common to have a cavity on the tooth because it is protected. However, the place where the crown meets the tooth can still get a cavity, that is why hygiene is important even though a crown is on the tooth, especially flossing. The two ways to get a cavity under a crown are:A cavity started between the crown and the tooth at the gum level.There was a cavity left on the tooth when the crown was put (more rare).
