Teeth and gum pain question?

On the 13th of MArch I had prep work completed on 2 teeth for crowns that should be put in place on the 27th of MArch. I am still in pain. I went back once and they said they didn't have the temporaries aligned properly and apologized. I am still hurting taking advil for pain. Is this normal until the actual crowns get put on? Help my teeth really hurt! Thank you!

Teeth and gum pain question?
It is not normal to experience severe pain, but in many cases it is normal to experience a lot of sensitivity. During the crown prep the enamel is completely removed from the tooth leaving the dentin exposed. Dentin is extremely sensitive!! However, after adjusting the temporaries, if you are still in a lot of pain, go back and see the dentist again. Don't worry about 'bothering' the dentist and the staff... that is the reason they are there. Also, if you are experiencing that much sensitivity, I would recommend that you ask the doctor to numb you when you go in to have the permanent crown placed. This is not normally done, but should be in situations such as yours.
Reply:No it's not normal...you should not be having that much pain. Call your dentist and have him take another look. It could be an infection.
Reply:it's not normal - first get a stronger pain-reliever then go visit your doctor again.
Reply:I agree with the dental instructor. If your tooth is HURTING and not just sensitive, there is a problem. A dull ache, worse at night, heart beat type throb, hurts when you bite or tap, and set off by heat???? This would mean you need a root canal. Do not have the permanent crown placed if you feel these symptoms, the last thing you want is for them to drill a hole through your $700 crown and then have to plug it. Let them know it is not better as soon as possible.
