The first thing to do after purchasing contact lenses is to make sure they are your size. Most probably, you would seek out an optometrist or eye professional so they will be able to give you an exact fit. You can have a similar situation with your teeth, especially upon getting a Fairfax City dental crown.

In our profession, we insist on follow-up visits. These can be several weeks from the day we give you your Fairfax City dental crown. Seeing us again will help you so I am able to tackle any issues right there and then.

Problems could take the form of numbness in the area. Your tooth may also feel overly sensitive. The moment you feel any of this, please contact me at once. It is crucial that you seek treatment fast because the last thing you want is to aggravate the problem.

If you detect any tingling or numbness, you are probably feeling the side-effects from work on your real tooth when it was being shaped to receive the crown. Maybe your gums are still recovering, after suffering from multiple pulses of vibrations from dental tools.

The crown itself may be the cause. It could be that the underside of the dental crown may have problems "speaking" to your real tooth. In basic terms, the crown does not fit properly on to the tooth.

Or we may not have put in enough cementing material. When this happens, the Fairfax City dental crown has come loose from the dentine, or your tooth's inner layer. Your dentine is still exposed each time you have a drink, whether it is hot coffee or cold lemonade. Because of this that sensation hits you. Imagine scraping your fingernails on a blackboard.

Last of all, the nerve root could have been exposed. This happens when shaping the tooth for the Fairfax City dental crown. We find this condition happening quite a bit given the condition of teeth that require crown placement. In most cases, they were severely damaged.

This may require a root canal to clear out the mess from your nerve root and give you back your crown.
