Dear Dr Rotar!
A month and a half ago my dentist carried out extensive dental rehabilitation – all-ceramic crowns (11 upper teeth). Throughout the procedure the "prepared" teeth were very sensitive, and even now that the crowns have been fitted I still have problems. Interestingly, my lower teeth (my own permanent teeth) are also sensitive. I would appreciate any opinion or advice from you, because given your experience I believe you have already encountered this problem.
Please give me an objective opinion, because coatings do not work, toothpastes do not help either, and the crowns were done professionally.
Wishing you much success and thank you very much for your answer,
Andreja
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
With the procedure mentioned, the teeth undergo relatively considerable stress. During tooth preparation there are vibrations, heating... which can lead to various degrees of inflammation of the dental pulp (the inner tissue). The condition can manifest as the problems you describe. Symptoms can subside very late (after half a year), although usually much sooner. The sensitivity in the lower teeth is probably perceived "referred" from the problems in the upper jaw.
Have a nice day!
