I&#8217;ve had massive trouble with a dental crown I had placed less than xix months ago. My dentist adjusted them three times. Nothing he did helped. The crown still hurt like mad every single time I bit down. Now he&#8217;s saying there&#8217;s nothing wrong. Well, last night I was eating at a restaurant and it broke. I called him and he feels he&#8217;s done enough and says I must have done something. He said he&#8217;s willing to make a new one, but I&#8217;ll have to pay for it. Even if I felt that was fair, I don&#8217;t trust him to get it right any better than he did last time. What do you recommend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marla<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Marla,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"285\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/emergency_patient.png\" alt=\"Tulsa Emergency Dentist\" class=\"wp-image-618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/emergency_patient.png 285w, https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/emergency_patient-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have been through the ringer with this, not to mention your dentist is being unfair. It will be fairly easy for you to get a refund for this crown regardless of how your dentist feels. He hasn&#8217;t met even the minimum standard for the lifetime of a dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you&#8217;ve got to get this problem taken care of. Because you can&#8217;t trust your dentist and you&#8217;ve been handed a time sensitive situation, I&#8217;m going to recommend you look up dentists who treat emergencies in your area. It shouldn&#8217;t be too hard to find one. Many of them will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-emergency-dentist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"use the search term &quot;emergency dentist&quot; (opens in a new tab)\">use the search term &#8220;emergency dentist&#8221;<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Possible Problem with Your Dental Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your crown gives you pain upon biting down there is usually one of two reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first possibility is a lingering infection. While most of the time an infection is dealt with by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-root-canal-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"a root canal treatment (opens in a new tab)\">a root canal treatment<\/a>, there are some tricky canals in there and it&#8217;s possible one was missed. An x-ray should reveal that. If your dentist didn&#8217;t do an x-ray, the emergency dentist will as a standard procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another possibility is the crown is seated too high. You said he tried adjusting it three times. While that&#8217;s good, when it wasn&#8217;t making a difference he should have kept investigating the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think this is the most likely issue with your crown. The reason I say that is it broke when you bit down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While our biting forces are quite hard, they&#8217;re usually spread over all out back teeth. If you have a crown seated too high, your bite will hit that and only that with its full force. That type of force on a single crown will make it vulnerable to breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Tulsa Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">Tulsa Dentist<\/a> Dr. Ryan Noah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know what to do.
