Had crown 15+ years ago. Upper left tooth second from back.
Started experiencing pain. My dentist said my rear upper back tooth was decayed under its old crown...had to be pulled. Further signs of decay under crown on tooth next to it...second from back.
Had tooth pulled...it seemed to be a toughie to get out...unlike my non impacted wisdom teeth were. This was back in May of 24.
After a bit of healing, crown was removed, decay fixed and new crown out on..late June I think.
After a couple of weeks tooth was throbbing. Had 2 bite adjustments to no avail...was sent to Endo who did X-ray that went around head. He said he thought he saw some infection..did root canal thru new crown...4 canals. Root canal was just before Thanksgiving.
Started noticing some pressure or numbness by tooth and maybe cheek...hard to describe. I was watching it when my crown pretty much fell apart.
Weird thing is once most of the crown fell part and dentist temporarily smooth it down till he could get me in..numbness and throbbing greatly deminished. Waited 2 weeks for new crown. Got it a couple days ago.
Weird numbness or pressure feeling noticable again.... Right after crown put on. Cheek feels maybe numb back by jaw hinge. Funny thing is no pain so far from tooth...sometimes it feels pressure like something squeezing it...hard to describe...not pain ...so far...only been 48 hours since crown placed.
Took some Aleve hasn't really done much for me. What can this be. After 2k of crowns and root canal..plus the tooth pulled and the psychological trauma...I am a wimp...I do not know what to do...get it pulled? But maybe that won't solve the issue and I am not sure I want to invest in an implant when there's already seemingly trouble up there... I really don't want to denture. I just don't know what this is or what to do I've never had anything like this.
As I sit here I feel that pressures around the tooth... it does not hurt though and I feel a numbness or throbbing at the back of my jaw by the hinge noticeable also when I speak.
The numbness and weardness at my jaw hinge is sort of new maybe it's a coincidence. The only other time I had my job bothering me was in the very very beginning before I had the tooth removed or the crown worked on but this is a little different. The weird numbness around the tooth and seemingly pressure around the tooth when it hits my cheek or my tongue hits the tooth kind of returned after I had the crown put back on after it pretty much fell off. What the heck is going on?
Anyone ever hear of anything like this.
