My crown hurts when I drink cold water or hot water. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from hurting?

Question

Besides drinking luke warm drinks?

Answer 1

Did you just get the dental work done? If so, then it will probably take a few months before you can drink anything cold or hot. Take some advil or tylenol and try to drink room temperature liquids. I know it is a pain in the butt, but you just have to live with it for a while. My teeth do that even if I just go in for a cavity.

Answer 2

My question is this: How old is your crown?How frequent is the pain?Does it hurt badly,for how long,minutes or hours, or is it only during drinking cold and hot water?Was the tooth inside the crown rootcanaled before?

Because checking on your 1st statement,drinking cold or hot water,if you have this symptom,most likely the tooth inside the crown is for root canal treatment.Because,your 1st statement is one of the signs.BUt there'd be other symptoms of course.

Or maybe your crown has seepage already,on the cervical area(the one near the gum) causing liquids,food to be trapped inside the crown,causing it too hurt.

Or maybe,it's not really the tooth with the crown,maybe some other tooth with cavity that you didn't notice because it's possible you're pointing to the crown but other teeth is involved.We call that referred pain.

Better yet,the best thing to do,is to go to your dentist so that he/she could have it checked and erase all your worries.

Yuck. I hate drinking warm water. There is something in the mouth care section at most stores that is supposed to last for 6 months or so that you brush on sensitive teeth. Also have your dentist check to make sure that the crown is sealed properly. If not sealed food particles could have gotten inside and cause an infection.

Answer 4

if the crown is pretty new then go to your dentist because the bite may be just a little off. If not then taking advil for a few days may get you through it until the sensation goes away. If the crown is old then there is certainly something going on, probably a cavity, again go see your dentist.

Start brushing with toothpaste for sensitive teeth and a brush with soft bristle's.

You answered your own question. Drink room temperature drinks. (That doesn't sound too appetizing, does it?!). Mention this to your doctor.

go see your dentist again. perhaps it needs to be adjusted.
