Nerve pain

[Montgomery28]

I am having a lot of trouble with an upper crown that was recently taken out and cleaned and put back in and also have a temporary brace to correct my jaw going sideways - I have hyperflexibility. I am getting increasing amounts of nerve pain near this crown and despite meticulous cleaning routine - I am now getting neuralgia and ear ache as a result and cannot eat anything too hot or cold. My dentist is wonderful but cannot see anything wrong with the root or the nerve but I am at my wit's end with the pain. Would this be a case for another specialist dentist or a hospital or ENT situation? I have taken the brace out for a week just incase it is the pressure on the nerve but has made no difference. Advice please? I am in the UK by the way and so NHS is an option.

Hi Montgomery28,

May you please answer the following questions;

What is your age? Which tooth is it that has the crown? How long have you been experiencing pain in that area? Is it a constant throbbing pain or does it come by sharp and intermittently?

Thank you
