Actually what they do is; drill a hole in your tooth, take a set of files and scrape out the nerve... once the nerve is gone you don't feel anything. However, after they do this they shave down your tooth into a stump that will be used to place a crown on. The crown is pretty much a fake tooth and can be made of gold or porclein (sp?). They put the crown over the stump of a tooth and pull the gums back around the base of the fake tooth/crown... There may be pain due to the swelling of the gums and as your mouth gets comfortable with the crown... taking an anti-inflamatory such as advil will help the pain. The pain rarely lasts more than a couple of days, and should be gone within a week. The discomfort that may occur due to the crown however may last for a couple of weeks. By discomfort I mean aqwardness of the new crown. |
yep, that's exactly it.
i was just wondering about the "pain" (it's more of an iritation, not anything close to "pain" and i'm sure it's the gums) because it appeared after i bited hard last night for a long time, just to get the feel of it. for the moment it's ok, easy to withstand, it's more like a little bit of pressure on a specific part of the gums.

Me too. I haven't had a beer in over 2 months, but I have fond memories.
