Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2006silver temporary crown and tomatoes
Several days ago my dentist did preparation for a crown and installed a temporary silver crown while we are waiting for the permanent one to be made. Ever since then whenever I eat tomatoes I get shooting pains in that side of my head. Could the tomatoes be reacting with the silver in the temp. crown? I never had trouble with tomatoes before. Ora To ora there are some acidic juices in tomatoes that can be creating an electric current in your freshly cut tooth, Ask the dentist to cement your finished crown in a temporary cement (dycal) If the problerm continues endodontics may be necessary drharry > Several days ago my dentist did preparation for a crown and installed a > temporary silver crown while we are waiting for the permanent one to be [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Ora I have already had a root canal in that tooth.

He HAS already had a root canal on the tooth, so NO temporary cement is needed. The Silver crown is actually a stainless steel or alunium prefabricated temporary crown.. The acid in the tomatoes has nothing to do with the pain from the tooth, infact the pain is most likely referred pain or gingival pain. However, make sure to tell you DDS what you experienced when you go to get your new crown.
