It's been 2 weeks since I bit something hard and I have had sensitivity to heat and cold and some dull ache. My dentist says I have a craze crack but believes the pain is from tooth trauma. There is no pain when I chew and the pain does go away at times. How long does tooth trauma last and is a root canal an option?
The dull ache and pain while chewing and associated hot and cold sensitivity is due the trauma which is caused to the tooth , having resulted in the crack as the dentist has mentioned.
I would advice you to get a radiograph and proceed with the root canal treatment , followed by a crown.
For the pain ,ibuprofen can be taken if you are not allergic to any medicine.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards .
