Two months ago, I went to Costa Rica for 10 lower crowns and eight porcelain veneers in early May. Since returning home, I have felt severe pain in my lower jaw. One molar tooth hurts whenever I chew anything. I called the dentist, who advised me to take ibuprofen every 4-6 hours for two weeks. I know the health risks, so I don\u2019t take it as often as she recommended. The dentist also mentioned that I might need a root canal. The tooth hurts when I chew but not when I touch or clench my teeth. Should I have pain two months after dental work? I\u2019m embarrassed to see a local dentist about work I had done outside of the US. Thanks. Luca from Nashville<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your symptoms and the dentist\u2019s recommendation to take ibuprofen so frequently are alarming. Long-term ibuprofen use can damage your liver or kidneys. You are wise to minimize your use of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lingering pain after dental crowns<\/a> or veneers is not normal. Although tenderness may occur after a few weeks, symptoms should not last for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand your embarrassment, but you need care from a skilled cosmetic dentist. Look for dentists with post-graduate cosmetic dentistry experience and schedule consultations or exams. You may need root canal treatment, but please don\u2019t return to Costa Rica for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few dentists have the advanced cosmetic dentistry and training required to produce a beautiful smile makeover with crowns and porcelain veneers. Your chances of getting a beautiful smile out of the country are even lower. Please consult a cosmetic dentist to examine all your Costa Rica dental work and the molar tooth that hurts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The precaution of examining your dental work can minimize future problems with your dental restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
