If your crowns are permanently cemented, there's not much you can do but wait and give time. If the sensitivity does NOT linger, give some time for your tooth to get used to the crown. It's fairly common to have sensitivity upon having crowns placed, as your tooth was worked on via a bur/handpiece. Your teeth is telling you "I didn't like being drilled upon."
You can also look in the mirror to see if your gums have receeded in relation to the crown; if so, request the dentist to place a layer of fluoride varnish or antisensitivity bonding agent to the exposed tooth area. This may help.
You also mentioned you are pregnant; if your GUMS are sensitive, your hormonal spikes may have caused gingival inflammation. Just keep up with extra brushing/flossing until you complete term.
I would visit your dentist again to make sure everything is okay. Good luck!

Her bite is probably still off a slight bit. Use carbon paper to see where the high spot is and take a slight bit off either the crown, or the tooth below it. Also use a fluoride mouth rinse, a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, and stay away from cold/hot drinks for a while. Good luck.

Well, first I would tell old DDS that he didn't do it properly, and therefore you have lost faith in him and would like to be reimbursed for the money you put out. Then get a new DDS and explain the problem to him and see what he suggests. Then contact your insurance co. and see what they suggest. If you had a root canal you need to have a cap or crown to make it work ok and without pain. Good luck, dental work is a painful bit##.

Wow, just went to the dentist yesterday. Toothpaste Sensodyne, put some on the tooth, rub it in at night an go to sleep, don't rinse, In the morning brush as normal same at night and then apply again, try this for at least 21 days. Everytime I go to the dentist I hear something new, example years ago, dentists used to say hard toothbrushes, then changed to soft medium, then to soft only, to late teeth are damaged by then, at least the newer generations, are having healthier teeth.

Suggest a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. You might also suggest that she refrains from very cold or very hot foods and drinks. Being a mother of 2 children, I am familiar with the problems of pregnancy.

When a patient is feeling sensitivity, we use copalite varnish. paint it on by the gumline, dry it and keep repeating until the sensitivity goes away. It usully lasts a couple of months. Patients seem to like it.

do not eat or drink anything too hot or cold.
