I had a root canal on one of my lower premolars and got a permanent crown over it. It's been a good 2 years since the crown was put on and I've never had any problems. However, tonight, it started really hurting. It was throbbing and tender if I pushed on it. 200 mg of ibuprofen knocked out the pain and it feels fine right now, but I'm not sure if it will come back or not.
Why would it start hurting all of a sudden? I've read that a throbbing crown usually requires a 2nd root canal... is this true? I don't think I could bear a 2nd one. The first one was really horrible.
