Dental crowns and dental bridges should be comfortable and feel natural. They should not cause you pain or discomfort.
If your dental crown or bridge is causing you pain, you should contact our dental office for assistance as soon as possible. Painful dental crowns can be a sign of a serious underlying dental issue, like a cavity beneath the dental crown or an infection. Painful dental crowns may signal the need for a root canal or even extraction in severe cases.
Dr. Bellegarrigue will examine your dental crown or bridge and ascertain why it is causing you pain. Treatment will vary depending on the specific reason for your pain. At North Tampa Dentistry, we will go over all your treatment options to help you make the best decision for your oral health.
Sedation Dentistry for Your Comfort
When you visit our office, and you are in pain, we will do our best to make you comfortable. Our sedation dentistry options allow us to provide patients with the most relaxing dental experience possible, whether we are repairing a broken dental crown or filling a cavity. We offer different levels of sedation tailored to your needs and anxiety levels.
For patients with higher dental anxiety or those undergoing complex or multiple procedures, oral sedation is often appropriate. With oral sedation, you will be conscious, but you may not remember the procedure afterward, or you may only remember pieces of it. Since this sedation level makes driving dangerous, you will need a ride to and from any appointment where oral sedation is used.
With our sedation methods, we can treat patients comfortably in our North Tampa dental office, ensuring a calm and relaxing appointment even for those with dental anxiety.
If you’re experiencing pain in your dental crown, don’t put it off due to nerves. We are here to help you receive dental treatments in a comfortable environment.
