Hello.
I used to be fairly active here, I had a serious dental phobia.
I met a great dentist and he was able to help me overcome it and I had a LOT of work done.
Recently he retired suddenly. It was really hard for me.
I went in for a cleaning and to see his replacement.
He is nice but definitely has a different approach.
I saw my old dentist in January and he said my teeth looked fine and he did reapply some silver diamine fluoride and told me to come back in 6 months.
Last week I went for my cleaning and then had a brief exam and the new dentist immediately told me I needed crowns on like 4 of my teeth with old fillings.
I just wonder if this is legit. Like how could they go so bad in 6 months?
I have had two CEREC crowns so far and I appreciate the technology (I have horrible panic trying to do impressions) but both of these newly crowned teeth (no root canals) are sore.
How long should I expect soreness? I'm afraid that I spent a ton of money and emotional energy having these crowns and that they'll always be sore and pain when chewing.
I have to have 3 more crowns, he says.
