I have suspected pulpitis following trauma to my right front tooth. What can I do?
Incident occured on March 16th when I bit down on a fork too hard. RCT was advised with a follow-up appointment in three weeks time to check it and decide on the final course of treatment. Currently experiencing sensitivity to sweets, intermittent toothache and facial pain, headaches, ear pressure/soreness and subtle jaw inflammation all on the same side as the problematic tooth. Symptoms are very much in line with TMJ/sinusitis. I’m really concerned about the possibility of an infection or abscess, I can't see anything inside my mouth but this is just really uncomfortable. The clinic are unable to see me any sooner than scheduled unless I’m in significant pain, where they said they’d try to find a slot for me. I wouldn’t call it significant pain, more just bothersome and worrisome. I don’t suppose anyone is able to advise? Even with regard to the root canal, should I get a crown put on afterwards? How quickly will it turn grey? Sorry for all the questions, just filled with anxiety at the moment.
