Sore Throat: A Common Minor Complication After Getting Dental Crowns
August 15, 2023
“Sore Throat: A Common Minor Complication After Getting Dental Crowns” addresses a common question for anyone getting a dental crown for the first time. A crown caps a weakened, cracked, or heavily restored tooth to protect it and restore its shape.
Some mild sensitivity or soreness in the days after placement is normal, especially around the gumline, and typically fades on its own. Persistent or worsening pain is worth a follow-up call.
With good oral hygiene, a well-made crown can last many years before it might need to be replaced or re-cemented.
If this sounds like your situation, the best next step is a conversation with your dentist. Saifee Family Dentistry offers dental crowns in Spring, TX — call (281) 502-2642 or request a visit online.
