Gosh I don't know what to do. Last December I had my premolar root canaled. Tooth #12. I was still in pain so we we moved to tooth #13. Both root canaled and crowned. #12 was retreated a month later just to make sure it was fixed.
Fast forward, Months later #12 began to hurt upon biting. I went to an oral surgeon to discuss extraction, Apioectomy was discussed even though scans looked normal. It was found the crown was being hit on by an opposing tooth so it was filed down and the pain diminished. The tooth is always mildly sensitive but had improved. Well I am about a year out now and it just started again. The past two weeks i noticed my bite seemed off and I was hitting heavy on the crown. Today I cannot bite on the tooth and it hurts giving me a headache. My last x-ray a few months ago was normal and it was having biting pain and a mild crown adjustment fixed it. What could be happening?
I am really now thinking I should pull it however could this be a sprained ligament? What would cause the tooth to shift out of bite and hit heavy again on the crown? It's been adjusted several times since I had it. Thank you for listening and I hope this message finds you well.
