Case Description
I had one of my top front teeth extracted in December '05. In June '06 I received an implant and in November '06 I received the crown. About a month after I received the crown I started feeling some slight throbbing which I am still experiencing. It's not really painful, just more of a slight pulsing. I saw my dentist for this about a month ago and he didn't find any problems, although he didn't take ex-rays. He adjusted my bite in hopes of that helping but it hasn't seemed to. The throbbing is something I can live with-I just want to make sure that it doesn't indicate a problem. It seems to come on especially with drinking liquid or with exercising, but sometimes neither of those are the culprit.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
