I would tend to agree with the dentist.

If you have developed a sensitivity to cold, then it would indicate an underlying problem with the tooth rather than the crown.

I am surprised that the dentist would have put a crown on the tooth if you had indicated occoasional problems with the tooth.

You dentist may be right, but what surprises me is that he did not tell you that you just may have some nervers surfacing and if you used the special tooth paste, over the counter its sensadine (dont think thats spelled right sense-a-dine).

This tooth paste will help the nevers receed and make you less senative to hot and cold. Its just a thought you may like to try that before you get more work done to the tooth.

All dental work is traumatic to your teeth. Most of the time they heal just fine, but eventually the nerve becomes so irritated that it starts to die. This is probably happening to your tooth.

Crowns require a great portion of tooth to be removed and this is a severe trauma to the tooth. If it was already sensitive, then this could have been the "straw that broke the camel's back."

i had a tooth become sensitive after a crown, and it stayed that way for about 2 years. Then it suddenly flared up and caused me horrible pain until I had the root canal. My advice is to maybe wait a little while longer, but if it doesn't get better pretty soon then go have the rc. You don't want it to go bad on you when you least expect it. Not fun.
