You mean immediately after? Or years down the road?

Flying the same day, about 10 hours after?

Personally, I wouldn't do it. But you should ask your dentist if it is possible.

Why wouldn't you be able to? The only problem would be if pain pills make you dizzy.

Hopefully Flossie will pop in soon and give us a lesson. I just thought that because of the change in air pressure (and yes there is some in a plane cabin) that it could cause some serious discomfort.

Did you have root canals too? Was there a lot of mouth damage and upset?

No just 2 Crowns and there are pretty clean. I just called my dentist to ask and the reseptionist has not gotten back to me yet. She said she didn't think there would be a problem considering the cabin of the plane will be presurized, un like diving.

Yes, you can fly after having crowns done. It's scuba divers who have to be very careful of the dental care they have. Sorry it took so long to reply. I had a computer free weekend.
