    Gum pain / Biological Width question
    10 days ago I've been to a dental hygienist I've never met before. Although I'm pretty tough when it comes to cleanings, this one was extremely painful. I was bleeding afterwards for 2 days every time I brushed my teeth (never happened to me before!)

    This week I noticed that whenever I eat, the gums around 2 different crowns start hurting. At the time I had a similar issue with one crown, which had to be replaced to fix the problem (something with regards to biological width not being maintained?). I used a small mirror to look at the crowns and I don't remember seeing so much of the crowns exposed (although I may be wrong).

    Is it possible the dental hygienist caused permanent damage? I find it difficult to eat - the pain is not very strong, but it's very persistent, and occurs very time after I eat. Like I said, I've had similar pain in the past - and it was associated with biological width..

    Please.. any advice would be so helpful. I'm really concerned I'll have to replace both crowns again.

    Will greatly appreciate any help,

    Best regards,

    I doubt that it is permanent, it should go away within a few more days. However, if it is not gone by Monday I would contact the dentist and let him/her know of the problem.
