Had A Cracked Tooth And Numbness. Pain Is Severe And Punched In Face. Suggest The Next Step For Painful Teeth
Hello, I had a cracked tooth number 4 that I had a crown prep done. The dentist had a hard time numbing the tooth. I did get root infection and was on clindamycin. Infection has resolved. Soon after I needed a root canal on number 4 since I still had temporary crown on the endodontist did the root canal and went back to doctor. At next appointment I was supposed to get crown placed on number 4 and a small cavity filled on another upper tooth on opposite side of mouth. Both teeth did no get numb and I felt so much pain. The dentist said that he does not understand why I don't get numb since he has not seen another case like this. Can this be related to TMJ or another nerurological disorder. Since then I have been having upper and lower tooth pain where I have no cavities or fractures, and pain where crown was placed on number 4 and pain where single cavity filled. This pain is severe. It feels like I have been punched in the face over and over. What would be the next step in care for my painful teeth. Not just 2 teeth several upper and several lower. NO cavities or previous pain associated with teeth until recently after Number 4 had crown prep.

Hi Thanks for writing in. If your tooth doesn t get anesthetized there can be several reasons:- -abscess tooth -alcohol consumption Still neurological condition like trigeminal neuralgia can also lead to severe pain unilaterally.That pain is so severe & unbearable. You need to rule out proper cause & get it treated. Consult dentist & get complete treatment. Regards Dr.Neha
