Temporary crown
I had temporary crown placed on #46 today. I still feel that area numb. I am having lower jaw and neck pain since may. The dentist suspect a tooth fracture that could be the reason for my pain and told me to do extract. But the endo couldn't spot any fracture and did root canal as I had some cold and bite sensitivity on that tooth. I had root canal 7 weeks back. I got the temporary crown today. They told me to come back after 3 weeks for permanent crown. They said I have to be careful with the temporary crown and it might fall off If I chew on it. Do I need to avoid eating and brushing that side? Can we brush normally on that tooth? I still have the same symptoms of jaw and neck pain. My dentist said if it doesn't improve after the permanent crown, he said I should try extraction. When can I start eating food today after this temp crown. I still feel numb and it's been 2 hours. Can I avoid eating on that side till I get permanent crown? Can we brush normally?will it fall off?

You don't hav to do permanent crown.. wait till the pain resolves.. make sure you don't eat any hard food using your 46 molar area.. if you can get me your tooth radiograph I can give a better diagnosis. You can brush your teeth.. make sure the tooth doesn't break / get fractured
Health Tips
arrange your tooth radiograph before doing any permanent crown.. has to assess the case before going for any further treatment
