Post operative symptoms following crown restorations can range in normal situations from no post op symptoms to non lingering (less than 30 seconds) slight to moderate sensitivity to hot and cold. Lingering and or severe sensitivity to hot and or cold and sensitivity to biting/chewing can be signs of a more ominous problem such as irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. Both of which are indications of a need of root canal therapy.

There is nothing specifically prohibited as far as eating food with dentures compared to natural teeth. You don' want to chew ice with either. you should be very cautious with eating harder foods-nuts and such. You are not likely to be able to eat corn on the cob or apples and such from an ability to perform the required task point. Trying to eat them in the normal manner can dislodge or break front teeth or the denture. But cutting them up and eating in another manner works just fine

Surgery for TMJ or more correctly TMD (temporo-mandibular -disfunction) should be the last choice of treatment options. Unfortunately surgery has only a 50% success rate.

How to handle wisdom tooth pain?

My first suggestion is to contact your treating surgeon (dentist/oral surgeon) and discuss the problem with him/her. Warm salt water rinses help. Swishing with and spitting alcohol free listerine can help. If you are able to, take ibuprofen 600mg no more than every six hours is the best pain medication for that type of pain. If you need more relief, then taking acetaminophen (if you can take it) as directed on the bottle with the ibuprofen or in between doses can also help.

Whenever you have a concern about why you are being prescribed a medication it is always best to ask the prescribing clinician with your concerns. As a non participant not directly involved with your case I can only speculate as to why an antibiotic may have been prescribed. There are many factors involved in deciding whether or not and what medication to prescribe in any case. All I can say is your treating clinician observed factors that warranted an antibiotic to help proper healing in your case.

Yes. The amount of fluoride contained in over-the-counter toothpaste on the head of a toothbrush is small to begin with. When brushing and after brushing, the excess is spit out. After brushing, most people rinse and spit the rinse out. Therefore, the amount of fluoride left that has not been absorbed into the teeth is minimal. Even if you don't rinse and only spit, the amount is still minimal - well below the safe limit.
