Hi all,
I got a crown in September 2015. Did not get a root canal. The crown is on my upper first molar. The crown has always seemed a little high when I bite. I am a teeth clincher. I have not been wearing my mouth guard. So I noticed the crowned tooth was very sore. Some of the soreness is gone but I now have some swelling on the outside of the tooth at the top of my mouth. It's near that boney ridge. It only hurts to rub my finger across it and to push on the outside of my face. It is not throbbing. My question is....am a getting an abscess or do I have swelling from clenching on that high crown. The soreness has subsided a tad bit. Any suggestions other than a trip to the dentist?
