Question 1

what could cause an alignment problem after crowning?

Accepted Answer

Crown too high: In most instances the crown is too high thus, causing your tooth alignment to become uncomfortable. This could easily be corrected by seeing your dentist to adjust the occlusal interference and thus, improving your alignment.

Question 2

how long does he have to wait before he can eat again after a crowning?

Accepted Answer

Immediately: Modern permanent cements used for placement of crowns set up within 10 to 20 minutes. Some resin cements set up immediately. You can safely eat on a permanent crown as soon as you leave the dental office.

Question 3

is crowning short molars risky?

Accepted Answer

Not really: If they need the support you do it, you may need them redone later if the patient is young and has some growing to do.  Crowns are meant to make the tooth more structurally sound, not jeopardize the tooth.  Get a consult and a second opinion if needed.

Question 4

is crowning thought of as the most painful part of birth?

Accepted Answer

NO!  : You are administered a little anesthesia.  The tooth should not be sensitive when the crown is being cemented.

Question 5

how is crowning done on a tooth?

Accepted Answer

See below: A compromised tooth (fracture, failing old filling) may need to be covered and protected by a crown.  First, there must be enuf healthy tooth as a foundation.  It may be necessary to do a "core buildup".  Then the tooth is reduced in all dimensions (ground down if you must), a mold (impression) is taken, and then a crown is custom fabricated to recreate the tooth that was once there.

Question 6

is there pain relief for crowning in birth?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Delivery is the ultimate pain relief but prior to delivery, an epidural is useful for pain relief.  If labor is too quick and/or an epidural is not available; a pudendal block (injection) can be placed by your OB and this helps tremendously, especially with first time moms who are experiencing lots of pain.  Discuss your options with your OB before labor.  Take care.

Question 7

what will i need to avoid  after a tooth crowning?

Accepted Answer

No Sticky Foods: No sticky foods like taffy, jujubes, abba zabba that could stick to the crown and it's opposing tooth and pull the new crown off.  The crown cement needs to set.

Question 8

i am 21 and having a natural home birth. what does crowning feel like?

Accepted Answer

Don't : Would reccommend against this as occasionally immediate intervention is needed by an md.

Question 9

how can you repair teeth crowning?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Do you mean repairing a tooth with a crown or repairing a tooth with a crown already on the tooth? Repairing a tooth with a crown on is often possibly by putting a small filling at the edge of the crown where there is decay. If you mean repairing a tooth by placing a crown, then it is an entirely different procedure. After preparing the tooth, a dental lab makes the crown & the dentist cements it.

Question 10

i have little white bumps around the crowning of my penis?

Accepted Answer

Lichen Nitidus: Possibly a skin disorder called lichen nitidus. Many bumps, discolorations, and textures can be normal.  But, some are early signs of infection, or disease.  A urologist, dermatologist, or visit to your family doctor may save you a lot of trouble later.
