question: Hi doctor, The dentist thought my tooth had a fracture, so he put on a temporary crown. That worsened the pain and throbbing exponentially, so he sent me to an endodontist that said my tissue was extremely inflamed and needed a root canal ASAP. After the root canal, the regular dentist put on the permanent crown. I felt the throbbing again after he put the permanent crown on. I got a second opinion and the dentist #2 did an X-ray and noticed the crown did not cover my tooth fully. I went back to Dentist #1 who had to restart. He took the permanent crown off and put a temporary crown on again. But, he had thrown my original imprint away and waited to take a new imprint until after he removed my permanent crown. The temporary crown is on now and is tiny compared to my other teeth. It looks like a kernel of corn. Should he have taken the impression first before taking the permanent crown off? I worry my new permanent crown that comes in will be tiny.
