With your dental crown finally placed, you may think your tooth\u2019s troubles are over. You can now rely on your new cap<\/a> to protect your pearly white! However, you actually need to recover from your dental crown treatment first; you aren\u2019t \u201cout of the woods\u201d just yet. That\u2019s why your San Antonio dentist is here to offer some helpful guidance. So, here’s what you\u2019ll feel after dental crown treatment and how to manage those feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What You\u2019ll Feel After Getting a Dental Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your dental crown is placed, you\u2019ll likely experience three short-lived side effects. These include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slight Mouth Numbness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll likely have been under anesthesia for treatment, so your mouth will feel numb afterward. That means you must be careful of what you eat and drink; you\u2019ll injure your mouth otherwise. After all, you don\u2019t want to burn your tongue or gums with very hot foods or drinks. An incident like that would aggravate previous bruises or inflammation at the anesthetic injection site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Oral Discomfort<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your treated tooth will probably ache a bit once the anesthetic fades. Still, rest assured that this reaction is normal and temporary; it stems from your pearly white losing enamel. Any pain you feel should fade after a few days, ensuring you\u2019re ready to enjoy your stronger smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature Sensitivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the numbness wears off, your crowned tooth may be sensitive to extreme temperatures. The treatment site can sometimes react intensely to very hot and cold surroundings. Even worse, the site could be vulnerable to pressure if you bite down too hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dental crown may fit poorly if the sensitivity persists for a long time. In that case, please talk to your dental provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Should You Manage Those Feelings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to manage post-treatment sensations effectively, make sure to use the following tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
