Gordon - hoping you can once again explain something to me. I actually have 3 questions:
- As I posted before, there is a suspicion of a fracture that has not been confirmed or seen, but I still don't understand how a tooth that has had a root canal can feel pain - even if there is a fracture. Can you explain?
- After the root canal the tooth felt fine with the temp filling. It was only after the temp filling came out and the perm filling was done that this pain started. It's making me lose faith in my dentist - did she do something wrong with the filling? Could she have made the fracture worse??
- If there is a fracture, could the crown prep make it worse? I understand the tooth has to be "made smaller" in order to fit the crown on it. Couldn't all of this drilling and/or filing of the tooth damage the tooth and make the fracture worse. If the tooth is already in a compromised/weakened state it would seem to me that blasting away at it can't be a good thing.
