Tooth sensitivity
After the anaesthetic starts to wear off, it is normal to feel some sensitivity or discomfort in your crowned tooth. Toothpaste made for sensitive teeth can be used to reduce the effects.
However, if you experience pain or sensitivity when you chew, the crown may be placed too high. Consult your dentist to have it fixed.
Chipped crown
Crowns made of porcelain are more prone to chipping than other materials. When this happens, resin can be used to fill the chip temporarily if it is small. If the chip is huge, consult your dentist to get it replaced.
>Loose or falling off of crown
At times, the crown may become loose as the cement disintegrates from under the crown. This allows bacteria to enter which will lead to tooth decay. In such cases, you are advised to consult your dentist if your crown feels loose.
If your crown falls off, contact your dentist immediately for temporary measures before your consultation. During the appointment, he will either re-cement the existing crown or make a new one.
