    Should a temp crown be put on after gum surgery?
    I am having issues with my gum surgery,maybe someone can shed some light on this. I had gum surgery and the dentist put my temp crown back on after the surgery. Since then the gum will not heal. I keep going back to her and she keeps telling me she can not make the perm crown until the gum heals, which seems to not be happening. I am thinking about going to a perodonist for help. Do anyone have any thoughts on this?

    I'd get a second opinion. I had a nightmare experience with a root canal because I kept listening the same Dentist instead of getting a second opinion.
