What is the reason of gum pain after crown normal?
Hi doctor,
I am looking for a little advice since I cannot be seen until tomorrow by my dentist. I recently had a root canal on my bottom left tooth (last one at the back in the photo). A few weeks later, I got a temporary crown placed over it. The area beyond the tooth is inflamed and hurts badly. It is causing pain on the side of my tongue and the left side of my throat. I have no idea what could be causing it. I remember them attaching a metal piece back there to keep my mouth dry and open, but not sure if that could be the cause of anything. It did hurt when they did the procedure. What can I do today to relieve the pain? Also, do you know what could be causing it? Thank you.

Is it possible to correct front teeth length with veneers?
Hi doctor,
My two front teeth are much longer than the adjacent ones. For braces, I will have to remove four teeth, which I am not in favor and grinding will remove much of enamel layer. I have heard about porcelain veneers and composite bonding techniques for altering the shape of teeth. What should I do?
