Crown Placement In The Mouth. On Amoxicillin. Developed Numbness, Tingling, Cramping And Vertigo. Swollen Glands. Due To Infection?

I had a crown placed about 1 month ago and have not felt well since; I was placed on Amoxicillin 850 mg 2x/day. I developed numbness, tingling , and cramping in the extremities and then developed a vertigo . I constantly have an electric type feeling along and underneath my tongue and lower jaw. I also have swollen glands. My dentist says its nothing and I have to get used to the crown. I think it is an infection? Thoughts?

hello and welcome to HCM forum ,
i am glad you wrote in, according to the dental history provided by you it seems that the tooth still has infection due to which you have been in pain, i assume there is no swelling around the tooth, but if there is then kindly revisit your dentist and get the crown removed.
i am not sure about the numbness and tingling in the extremities,but its not due to the tooth for sure.
for this you will have to consult a neurologist.
swollen glands is something which needs to be checked thoroughly, i would have appreciated if you would have attached an x-ray of your RCT treated tooth.
on the whole, crown is nothing to do with pain , it is the infection which has not resolved yet,
therefore kindly visit a specialist(endodontist) soon.
i wish you good health,
take care.

hello and welcome to hcm,
some conditions are associated with your mentioned problem. they can be-
1. after cementing the crown, he has not checked or removed high points is causing you pain and other problems
2. another filling of some other metal is causing you galvanism ie electric feeling.

visit the dentist or try a new one for the second opinion.

thanks
