- Weather and Crowns - Fillings: I am 59 years old and for the past two years all my crowns and fillings have become sensitive to weather changes. Everytime we have cloudy or rainy weather and a day or more before and after they all become pressure and hot - cold sensitive.

- Porcelain Crown more abrasive than Gold? I have read that porcelain is much more abrasive to other nearby teeth than gold is? Currently I only have one gold crown and a porcelain crown side-by-side and I hate the latter. The gum is often sensitive and I finally got a water pik
MAINLY because of that tooth (flossing wasn't helping much). Its my 'special needs' tooth. It has been done FOUR times since 1992/3. I have seen some gold crowns that appear to be GOLD on the biting surface and white on the 'smile' surface. Is that a common procedure? ...Visitor from TX (answer)
- Allergic Reactions to Crowns: I have a big problem with it comes to accepting crowns in my mouth. It seems I am allergic to the metals used in crowns and recently had two new crowns put in and the gums in the area are red, swollen and hurt when I chew. My dentist feels it was because the dentist I was using in the past used some metal with these crowns and it is the metal that I am reacting to. He said he could change the crowns, which are attached to each other, but added that it is a lot of work and money involved, with no guarantees that the new crowns he would have made up would resolve the problem. Is there a way of testing the materials used in making up a crown to be sure that I wouldn't react? ...Visitor from NY (answer)

- Crown causes sensitivity? A few weeks ago, I had a crown put on a tooth that was cracked. The temporary was fine, but after the permanent was put on, it seemed uncomfortable. My tongue would hit it while talking sometimes and my tongue just felt funny, slightly numb, just like it was hitting the back of the crown. My dentist has adjusted it 3 times by grinding on it & others around it, but I don't think he thinks there is anything wrong with it. I asked if possibly it was too big, and he insisted that wasn't possible. Now, a crown on the bottom below the new crown has become sensitive to cold. Could my bite be off? I have had lots of crowns and never a problem like this. Hard to explain, but just isn't right. ...Visitor from TN (answer)
- Temporary Crown Size: Should a temporary crown be the same size and shape as permanent? Do the crowns attached with screw function as well as the ones that held by cement? My dentist couldn't make a good crown. He said that the implant was installed on a side with a wrong angle. I came back to my Periodontist, he promised to make the crown himself. He put a temporary crown, it's very small, there is 4 mm distance to the next tooth. He says the permanent crown will be bigger, but there'd be a distance for a crown I'll have on #18. Also there'd be no abutment; the crown will be screwed into the implant. ...Visitor from MD (answer)
- Temporary fillings - waiting for crowns: I had 2 very deep border line root canal cavitites in my last 2 teeth up top. My dentist went in and said that I didn't need a root canal but I needed a full crown on one tooth and a partial crown on the other. It has been over a week since I have my temporary fillings in and I am still in a lot of pain. I have been taking IB prophin for days straight every 4 hours. Is this normal to be hurting? It is a throbbing pain and even my ear is hurting me. I already went to her once already to fix my bite. My permanent crowns come in next week. Is this pain normal and will it get better when my permenant crowns are placed? ...Visitor from CA (answer)
- Root canal and crown and post or removal? My tooth is so rotten and it keeps my mouth smelling no matter what I do. It's so rotten and I don't know what to do. I saw a dentist and she recommended a root canal and crown and post. I just worry about closing the rot in. The hole is so deep I can push the tip of my tongue in it. I thought of removing it and getting a implant. I don't know what is best. ...Visitor from OH (answer)
- Crowns causing swollen gum tissue: I recently had new upper front crowns put in about 4-5 months ago although I had porcelain crowns for over 20 years this is my 3rd set. The upper right front crown is swollen around the gum line causing pain and throbbing, making my lip swollen and numb. This situation extends up through to the inside of my nose and is very sensitive to touch. The pain has generated the whole front area of my face which now makes my lower jaw and other teeth hurt. Is this absessed, dead or what? Remind you they have all had root canals completed many years ago with posts. There are no roots that would cause this kind of throbbing pain constantly. ...Visitor from MO (answer)
