After taking a brief look inside your mouth, your dentist informs you that you\u2019re going to need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calimesadentist.net\/dental-crowns-and-bridges.html\">dental crown<\/a>. Even though a crown is the logical solution to your problem, your unfamiliarity with the process makes you feel a little nervous. But you have absolutely nothing to fear; here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many reasons for needing a dental crown, but some of the common ones include: protecting a decayed or damaged tooth, covering a tooth that\u2019s discolored or misshapen, securing a dental bridge, protecting an implant, or covering a tooth that\u2019s undergone root canal therapy. All these issues have the propensity to worsen over time and can lead to more severe problems, as well as some potentially serious pain\u2014but they can all easily be corrected with crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Getting a Dental Crown Painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If pain is the primary concern of yours, do not worry; as with any restorative dentistry treatment, the tooth and affected area are completely anesthetized (numbed). The anesthetic usually wears off after a few hours, but during the actual procedure, you won\u2019t feel a thing! Some dentists also use a numbing jelly to desensitize the skin around the anesthetic injection site\u2014they really want you to feel as comfortable as possible throughout the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the procedure, it is normal to experience some tenderness in the affected area for a couple of weeks. Your body is responding to the significant adjustment that\u2019s been made inside of your mouth, and over-the-counter painkillers can typically provide an adequate amount of relief. This soreness will gradually improve after a couple of days, and most of it stems from the injection site of the anesthetic rather than the actual crown. Any long-term or chronic soreness that lasts for more than a few days is likely indicative of a different problem, and you should let your dentist know as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental crown treatment isn\u2019t painful at all; the efforts made by your dentist to numb the afflicted tooth usually ensure a comfortable experience. The only thing you need to worry about is taking care of that crown once you receive it\u2014which should be just as painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Scott Parker received his DDS from Loma Linda University and proudly serves patients in the Calimesa area.
