Dental Crown Question - Please Help!?

Just had a crown last Thursday. The roof of my mouth is now swollen and have been put on antibiotics. Next week the dentist wants to do a root canal in the same tooth? I am in a lot of pain. Apparently the crown is very near to the nerve. The crown is also moving? Has anyone experienced something similar? What can I do?

Do you think having a root canal is the right thing to do? Or should I get a second opinion?


Answers:

I agree with the previous answer. Sounds like you should have had it checked out and root filled before the crown was even thought about! If this is the case and your crown is moving it should like a lot of infection up around the root area. Has the dentist taken any xrays at all?? because it also could be just a reaction to the fitting of the crown and the tooth may just be a little angry with the pressure around it. Has he checked that you are not biting on the crown before you are biting on your natural teeth? Because all of these could be a solution before you go ahead and get a root filling done. Hope it goes OK for you.
