Tooth sensitivity after cementing

Tooth sensitivity after cementing

After cementing crowns or bridges, it is not unusual that there is painful sensitivity for a short time. It can be either teeth or gum, as a reaction to the whole procedure of preparing teeth for prosthetic.

  • If local anesthesia is given during cementing, mild pain can occur after its effect. It normally vanishes after few days. Painkillers are not necessary but they can be prescribed if the patient has low pain threshold.
  • If pain occurs during eating or the patient has a feeling that a part of prosthetics is “too high”, the bite must be corrected, and it is necessary to contact your dentist.
  • Occurrence of increased sensitivity to thermal stimuli (hot, cold) or food stimuli (sweet, sour) is possible. If the pain intensity gradually wears off, it is usual to disappear after several days or weeks. However, if the pain intensifies or occurs during night, it is necessary to contact your dentist. A possible therapy is treating root canal.
  • Sensitivity can also occur as a reaction to cement binding because it releases warmth, which can negatively affect teeth in a short period.

If you have any of these signs or symptoms, which last longer than a few days or a week, contact your dentist.
