How do i relieve pain in a tooth with a temporary crown?

Analgesics: Minor pain after crown preparation and temporization is common, and can be managed effectively with over the counter pain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. On the other hand, severe postoperative pain is a sign that all is not well with the tooth, and you should return promptly to your dentist for re-assessment.

Depends: ..On what's causing the pain. If the tooth is cracked into the pulp chamber, a crown will not have a good long term prognosis and the tooth wi likely require extraction. At the other end of the spectrum, the occlusion could be a little heavy on the temporary and adjusting your bite may be all that's required. Go back to your dentist and have it evaluated.

Go back to dentist: You shouldn't be having pain. The temporary crown is probably too tall and needs to be adjusted. Another reason for pain could be that the temporary is leaking. Lastly, the tooth might need to have endodontic treatment.

Advil (ibuprofen): Try ibuprofen if pain continue, it might not sealed totally or an rct might be needed.

Call Dentist: Most probably scenario is that the crown is a little high, easily solved with a quick adjustment. Sometimes the tooth may be sore from the work that was done, and your Dentist can help you get through that.
