More than likely, the gums are either irritated by the temporary crown or they are inflamed due to inadequate oral hygiene. Ask your dentist for a prescription of Chlorhexedine Gluconate .12% (trade names are Peridex or Periogard). Rinse and brush with it daily until your permanent crown is placed.

I had a part of a tooth break off and it is hollow don to the gums I can see 2 holes Doesn't hurt though Is the tooth dead Will it have to be pulled or have a root canal?

They may be able to save it by putting a cap or crown on it. You are lucky that it doesn't hurt. Hopefully you won't need a root canal, but they will know by taking an Xray of it, and testing you for hot and cold sensitivity. If they can't save the tooth, then yes, they will put it. Especially if it is a very back tooth. You can live without it. Although some may insist that you have a cap, or crown to replace it.

Just had the build up the tooth part of a root canal done and now 3 days later you are in such pain just like it was before you started?

Go back to the dentist and ask him to check for infection in the gums. I had the same problem, had to get the root canal redone and finally led to the extraction of the tooth, cause the stupid dentist couldn't figure out that he had infected my gums..


Why does it hurt when i oprn my mouth yo eat 5 days after root canal - no pain right after root canal - the pain is on the same side i had the root canal but it doesnt hurt near the tooth?

Many times when the canal was deep and infected the dentist will use special files to widen the canal. This is essentially removing tissue from the tooth. this can cause the gums to be sore. Now if the root was not all removed you would feel pain in the exact tooth. thanks for reading.. Http://www.BrowardDDS.com is my Dental website.
