Is the decay the reason why I'm having annoying dull pain in that tooth?
No, I don't think so. More likely from bite trauma.

Is the decay the reason why I'm having annoying dull pain in that tooth?
Questions: If I have temporary crown or permanent crown beside the tooth that need root canal, will it affect the crown? I believe no right?
Gonna have a temporary crown next Tuesday, and here I am worrying that it's gonna feel weird and it falling out. I feel stupid feeling this way but I just can't help it as this is gonna be my first dental crown, don't know what to expect.
Anyone have any idea what to look out for while having temporary crown on? Searched for it and most website suggest not to chew crunchy, hard, chewy food. Some says not to chew anything on that side with temporary on at all. Is it true that we should avoid chewing on the side with temporary crown on? Hopefully the permanent crown will not take 2 weeks for it to be ready.
Hi guys! I just came back from my dental crown appointment. Gonna go back in two weeks for my permanent crown.
I'm not having temporary crown now, which is surprising but I'm not complaining cos now I don't have to worry about it falling off while I'm talking to guest (I work in a hotel).
Dentist told me the reason why he didn't gave me temporary crown was because he don't want me to put pressure on that tooth for me so he shaved it short and small so now I basically can't touch my upper left first molar at all with my opposite lower tooth. He say to avoid hard food, like chicken bone or peanut or any crunchy food. Luckily I don't eat those, I usually eats vegetables and I like my vegetables to be really really soft.
He say to chew on my right side for now. So I'm sticking to porridge for this two weeks, as I'm missing one molar on right side so I can't really chew well there.
He didn't work on the upper left 2nd molar (the one with little decay under the filling). He say once the 1st molar is done, we will start to work on the 2nd molar, unless it is getting me throbbing pain.
Anyone ever have the same experience as me? Without a temporary crown.
