Does getting a crown AFTER a root canal hurt more than the actual root canal pro!
Question: Does getting a crown AFTER a root canal hurt more than the actual root canal procedure itself!?
I had a root canal done six days ago!. I felt a significant amount of pain and swelling/infection after the anesthetic wore off!. This pain lasted about four days though I can still feel it!. Now that the pain is tolerable, I'm not looking forward to going back to get the crown (just in case there's more awful pain after the numbness wears off again)!. Any experiences to share!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It should not, nothing usually compares to post-operative pain after a root canal treatment, you should be in the clear now, and the crown procedure should go smoother!. The sooner you do it the better since root canal treated teeth are known to be more fragile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You have to get the crown done!. No choice!. The root canal shouldn't be hurting that much afterward!. Call your dentist asap!. The crown part is easier than the rc - it takes less time also!. Once you get the crown on, you'll be glad you went thru with it!. PS After you get the shot, relax in the chair!. You won't feel any pain during the procedure!. Sit there and think about something fun, or try to go to sleep!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
When the root canal was done, the nerve was removed!. The tooth is now dead!. There will still be some pain involved, but nothing like the root canal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
