Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a crown hurt after placement?
Normal discomfort and mild sensitivity should resolve within 1-2 weeks after crown placement. If pain persists beyond this period or you experience difficulty eating, schedule an appointment immediately. Temporary crown sensitivity to hot or cold foods is normal, but worsening pain requires professional evaluation.
Can a dental crown get infected years later?
Yes, tooth decay can develop at crown margins or underneath the crown over time. Poor oral health, damaged dental cement, or crown damage increases infection risk. The tooth underneath remains vulnerable to bacteria if the crown seal fails. Regular checkups at our Rockville practice help prevent these crown complications.
What should I do if my crown feels loose or causes traumatized nerve pain?
Avoid chewing hard foods on the affected side and contact us immediately for dental attention. Do not attempt to remove or adjust the loose crown yourself, as this can cause tooth loss or further damage. We offer same-day emergency appointments for patients experiencing sharp pain from damaged crowns or loose dental work.
