Actually what they do is; drill a hole in your tooth, take a set of files and scrape out the nerve... once the nerve is gone you don't feel anything. However, after they do this they shave down your tooth into a stump that will be used to place a crown on. The crown is pretty much a fake tooth and can be made of gold or porclein (sp?). They put the crown over the stump of a tooth and pull the gums back around the base of the fake tooth/crown... There may be pain due to the swelling of the gums and as your mouth gets comfortable with the crown... taking an anti-inflamatory such as advil will help the pain. The pain rarely lasts more than a couple of days, and should be gone within a week. The discomfort that may occur due to the crown however may last for a couple of weeks. By discomfort I mean aqwardness of the new crown.

yep, that's exactly it.
i was just wondering about the "pain" (it's more of an iritation, not anything close to "pain" and i'm sure it's the gums) because it appeared after i bited hard last night for a long time, just to get the feel of it. for the moment it's ok, easy to withstand, it's more like a little bit of pressure on a specific part of the gums.

"that guy on the avatar is kenteris, a greek sprinter"

Maybe Theben has Greek blood. Huh. That would explain alot.

try the advil

also, rinse with warm salt water... that helps soften the gums so they can form to the tooth more easily.

Screw the Advil, forget the salt water, drink alot of beer.

[Japher]

that use to be my moto; Pour Beer on It!

Then, after 3 or 4 days of a headache I realized it was because I was dehidrated from drinking nothing but beer.

[Bereta_Eder]

for the moment i'm under the benevolent effects of balantine's scotch whiskey (thought i should numb the iritation abit )

[Lancer]

Me too. I haven't had a beer in over 2 months, but I have fond memories.

[Japher]
