Yes, it is possible for gum pain around a dental crown to radiate to the surrounding areas, including the cheek. This can happen if the crown is not properly fitted or if there is irritation or inflammation of the gums around the crown.
Constant cheek biting can also occur if the crown is not aligned properly with the opposing teeth or if there are bite discrepancies. This can cause discomfort and irritation in the surrounding tissues.
If you are experiencing discomfort and soreness in the gums around the dental crown, it is advisable to consult with your dentist. They will be able to examine the crown and the surrounding tissues to determine the cause of the pain and provide appropriate treatment.
In some cases, the crown may need adjustment or replacement if it is causing persistent gum irritation. Your dentist can assess the fit and alignment of the crown and make the necessary adjustments or recommend a new crown if required.
While waiting for a new crown or dental treatment, it is not recommended to leave the area empty as this can lead to further issues, such as tooth sensitivity or movement of the adjacent teeth. It is best to keep the area protected and maintain the proper alignment of your bite.
Your dentist may be able to provide a temporary solution, such as placing a temporary crown or a dental splint, to provide relief and protect the area until the permanent crown can be placed. Discussing your concerns and options with your dentist will help determine the best course of action to alleviate your discomfort and maintain the integrity of your dental structures.
