Why is my tooth sensitive to cold after a crown?
The tooth has had surgery. By removing the enamel, you remove part of the insulation if you will and are exposing the dentin. When you cement the crown to the dentin it can cause sensitivity from the acid or even over drying the tooth before cementation. Remember why you need the crown in the first place! Many times it’s from neglect , excessive decay, large restorations, or fractures. All of these factors contribute to post op sensitivity. Patience READ MORE
Will my teeth be yellow after braces?
Depends of what you eat or drink READ MORE
