What to do if a tooth with a crown hurts

Many people will wear dental crowns after completing dental treatment. This is to fix the teeth so that the teeth can be fixed. In addition, wearing dental crowns can also achieve good results in correcting teeth. However, not everyone feels comfortable wearing a dental crown, and many people will experience toothache after wearing a dental crown. So, how to deal with toothache after wearing a dental crown?

1. The benefits of wearing braces

1. Correct the occlusal relationship

Misaligned teeth lead to unbalanced bite force, which not only causes tooth wear, but also makes the teeth more likely to loosen and fall out prematurely. Orthodontics can make the tooth arrangement and bite relationship return to normal, which has a good corrective effect on the teeth.

2. It is beneficial to the maintenance of periodontal cleaning and health

Orthodontics can make teeth more neatly aligned and make cleaning easier, thus preventing tooth decay and periodontal disease.

2. Disadvantages of wearing braces

1. During the correction process, it is very painful and inconvenient to eat;

2. Wearing braces can sometimes cause scratches inside the mouth;

3. When wearing braces, if you don’t brush your teeth at any time, the food you eat will stick to the metal sheets;

4. Metal braces are not aesthetically pleasing.

3. What to do if your teeth hurt when wearing braces

1. If the tooth inside the porcelain tooth hurts severely, you need to find out the cause so that you can receive targeted treatment. In this case, it may be that the root canal treatment was not thorough, thus causing pulpitis. It may also be caused by irritation, so a dental X-ray is needed to determine the specific cause.

2. Generally speaking, the painful tooth is considered to be caused by inflammation of the apex of the tooth. If the patient only wants to rely on anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, it can relieve the symptoms, but it cannot completely cure it. Therefore, the porcelain crown needs to be removed for treatment. Then carry out anti-inflammatory treatment on the remaining teeth according to the symptoms.

3. In this case, the specific treatment plan still requires the results of dental X-rays and combined with clinical judgment to formulate the treatment, so it is recommended not to delay. When pain occurs, you should go to the hospital for various examinations and treatments in time. Generally, root canal treatment is required. After the treatment, you can redo the porcelain teeth and install them.

Note: In order to avoid some discomfort or complications after porcelain teeth, it is recommended that patients pay attention to personal oral hygiene at ordinary times, and pay attention to the choice of food when porcelain teeth are first installed. Try not to eat hard food and do not use new teeth to chew.
