As your dentist will tell you, there’s a chance that the tooth sensitivity will last for some time following a crown placement. While it can take up to four to six weeks for symptoms to subside, in most cases, the pain and discomfort subside within a few days.
When to Call the Doctor
Given that some tooth sensitivity in a crown is expected, it’s important to know when the discomfort is a sign of a more serious issue. Call your dentist if:
- Your pain is severe, constant, and/or intolerable.
- The pain lasts longer than four to six weeks.
- Your bite is not lined up correctly after two weeks.
