What causes teeth pain while biting or chewing?
Patient: I HAVE HAD CROWNING ON ONE OF MY BACK TEETH LAST MONTH.I HAVE PAIN ONLY WHEN IAM BITING OR CHEWING ANY THING. MY DENTIST SAID IT MAY BE BECAUSE THE TOOTH IS UNEVEN AND THEY DID THE TOOTH ADJUSTMENTS(GRINDING) MANY TIMES. FOR THE FIRST DAY IT SEEMS OK, BUT FROM THE SECOND DAY ONWARD ITS AS IT WAS.WHY IS IT HAPPENING? Doctor: Thanks for using Health care Magic.Read your query.Was the tooth root canal treatment and then the crown was placed?Is the pain severe such that medicines is required to have relief?If the pain is severe ,revisit the dentist and have it reviewed. If the tooth needs a root canal treatment ,the pain will be more severe and persistent.Sometimes it usually takes time for the tooth to settle down from the trauma of the dental treatment. Give it sometime ,if still pain increases have it checked.Hope this was useful.Thanks and regards.
