When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Good Afternoon. You may have a couple of things happening. One, you may need to have the Root Canal evaluated to assure that all the nerve tissue was removed properly. If any remains, or part was left untreated, you can still experience discomfort. Two, it may be that you need a simple adjustment to your new crown to make sure that forces from chewing are appropriate. After a Root Canal and crown, you should not be experiencing pain 60 days later. Hope this helps and let me know if we can assist you at all.

The crown may be too high. The occlusion may need to be adjusted. Also, there may be a 4th canal missed, or incomplete nerve tissue removal, especially near the apex of the root. If you have any more questions, please feel free to call me. Thank you, Dr. Peter Lee
