I'm really freaking out now and my anxiety has been absolutely through the roof all week. I got my permanent crown cemented last Wednesday and ever since, I've been having extremely sharp pain when exposed to cold. I was at the dentist today for I think the 11th time since March. I was diagnosed with reversible pulpitis which makes sense because there was quite a bit of trauma to that tooth with removing the old, large filling, getting a new build up, plus the temp crown and now the permanent one. However, I don't know if I downplayed my pain to the dentist. I told him that I had cold sensitivity but I didn't mention that the pain is very sharp (lasting a few seconds and then goes away) I have a tendency of underestimating my pain at the doctor/dentist because inside I just want to go home and hide under a pile of blankets with my cat.
My main fear is needing a root canal after all of this and after getting my brand new $1,000+ crown that I had to pay for out of pocket because I maxed out the insurance with the other work. If I had any idea this would happen, I would have waited one month until the new plan year started so that it would have been covered. Anyway, does anyone else have experience with this? I'm really hoping that it will heal soon on it's own. I just can't take this stress anymore and I feel like I'm reaching my breaking point. I also had sensitivity with the temp crown but this is worse.
