Hi Everyone:
So long story short. A month ago, I found out I had a cracked molar. My only symptom was that it hurt to bite sharp things on the tooth. Went to the dentist, got a filling- problem solved.
Dentist recommended a crown to ensure no further breakage. Had the crown prep and the as soon as the freezing wore off, I could tell something was wrong. It started as a dull ache and turned into throbbing pain. Couldn't put the slightest pressure on the tooth. It was an angry little tooth!
Ended up having a root canal and Endo told me there was still a crack but seemed to think it was fine.
Throbbing stopped immediately. Still have severe percussion pain and chewing pain. My dentist decided to take the temp crown off to let the tooth breathe and soon after that tooth and it's two neighbors feel like they have some play.
I bite down and my one molar hits funny and it feels spongy. I'm not sure if this is normal because I have a mini molar (from the crown prep) that it not doing a good job supporting them, but it it is freaking me out!
I am convinced I have a split tooth or an abscess which is why I still have severe pain after the root canal. I have two follow up appts next week. One with my dentist and one with my Endo. I am worried removal will be the only option.
Help!
