why am i experiencing extreme nerve pain in tooth with a crown when flying?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the tooh was not root canaled, the nerve may be dying and the pressure changes will ellicit the pain.  If the tooth did have a root canal and you are having pain, the occlusion (bite) on the tooth may be too high and needs adjustment.  If the occlusion is too high, the periodontal ligament gets inflamed and can be very painful with pressure changes at altitude.  Many pilots experience this.

Yes: When there is a cyst around a wisdom tooth, they both need to be removed asap and sent for pathological evaluation. While rare it could be cancerous and needs to be checked out.  Also cyst of that nature tend to continue to grown and cause issues as you have described. See your dentist for a referral to an oral surgeon.

Not uncommon: Sometimes a traumatic extraction can result in the entire corner of the mouth, both upper and lower jaw teeth becoming sensitive.  If persists get back to the dentist that did the extraction.
