Need for Root Canal caused by new crown?
As I was having a crown put on my #18 tooth I felt a sharp pain that shot through my jaw as if he hit something. He continued and the pain left. After the crown was put on I had a lot of pain in that area but I thought it was just from the process. I waited but it got worse and now causes all my teeth to hurt. So every four hours I have to take pain reliever. I went back and he checked all my teeth around that one and said they were fine. He took an xray of #18 and said it looked like the filling was too close to the nerve. My question is was this caused by him because the tooth had a filling in it before the crown and it was fine. Only after he worked on it did it hurt. Do I need a root canal?
