Many people are often worried about the expected pain that comes with any sort of oral healthcare treatment. This can make you push back a service, but it\u2019s important you get them when recommended. For instance, a dental crown<\/a> can help you regain the function and appearance of your bite, but will it hurt to get one? Here\u2019s what to know to feel confident about your visit.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, Does Getting a Crown Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are getting a crown, the tooth receiving it will need to be prepared first. Enamel on all sides will need to be removed so your results don\u2019t look bulky and sit flush. That said, this is what patients are often worried about hurting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that this process may be easier than you think! Your dentist will begin by thoroughly numbing your mouth with powerful local anesthesia and give you dental sedation<\/a>. You won\u2019t feel much of anything. In fact, those who got this procedure before say they often only feel pressure or minor discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once this part is done, you\u2019ll get impressions taken and have a temporary restoration placed. This part is typically easy, and you\u2019ll need a second visit in a few weeks. This allows your final crown to be made by a dental lab, and you\u2019ll have it bonded on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can I Do to Ease My Soreness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After both appointments, your mouth may be a bit sore. This is expected, and it\u2019s typically short-lived! It should go away over the next few days, but here are some tips to get relief sooner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
