See below: If you are not comfortable with the original dentist, go for a second opinion. Variables include, fracture need for root canal therapy or other issues. Get a definitive diagnosis to alleviate your pain.

No, but...: No, a painful front tooth with a crown will not cause a blood disorder. However, if your crowned tooth is bothering you for four years and your dentist has not been able to find a solution, it is time for a second opinion. It is possible that the tooth requires a root canal, or if it has had one, that it needs to be redone.

Second opinion: Suggest you go to another well respected dentist in your area for a second opinion. It should not take 4 years to diagnose cause of pain. Once the cause of the pain is determined you can be given appropriate treatment options. Nerve damage requiring Root Canal Therapy or crown or root fracture are most likely causes of your pain.
