Visitor asks:
Hello,
A little over a week ago I received ten temporary porcelain bridge units on my lower jaw, which the dentist will cement after New Year. He said everything needs to settle well. However, even though he placed the bridges temporarily, I have pain with various changes such as cold, heat, biting food and changes in ambient temperature.
I would like to know why this is happening and how long I will have these pains. I expected that when the bridge was placed on the prepared teeth, the pain would disappear.
Unfortunately that is not the case. Therefore I would like to know what is happening and how long this pain will continue.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The procedure for making a bridge requires reshaping the original dental crowns. Intervention in hard dental tissues is relatively radical and irreversible. During the procedure, the dental pulp undergoes stress, which can cause different degrees of inflammation. The consequences can also appear as hypersensitivity of the teeth to changes in temperature, changes in osmotic pressure... The condition should improve over time (it may take several months); if it worsens, additional root canal treatment is usually required.
Have a nice day!
