Managing Pain After Crown Fit

“It didn't hurt before YOU drilled it!” - sound familiar? Of course it does! It's such a real world WEEKLY dilemma for Dentists all over the world. That heavily decayed and/or cracked molar was destined to start hurting the moment you touched it. How should you handle these scenarios? How can you prevent them in the first place? What if you're patient is upset?  https://youtu.be/bf24wpgiv3Q Watch PDP167 on Youtube To tackle this scenario I’m joined by Dr. John Swarbrigg and Dr. Neel Jaiswal – two of the nicest guys in dentistry! How do we dodge the pitfalls before they even appear? The secret sauce lies in a personal and detailed consent process. Informed consent allows you to set expectations, which saves time, money, and ensures smiles all round. And hey, we also talk about mitigating situations when things go a bit wonky – because let's face it, we're all human!

You think it looks a little bit worse for wear, so you plan an indirect restoration, let's say an onlay. Jaz's Introduction:And everything goes smoothly, you did it under rubber dam, and it looks beautiful, and he followed all the adhesive principles, but unfortunately this asymptomatic tooth became very symptomatic and now you're looking at a pulpitis and the patient needs a root canal. Now sometimes the patient is upset. Does this sound familiar? Well if this doesn't sound familiar then you probably haven't done enough dentistry because this is something that we face. It's a real world problem. It's no one's fault that this happened. It's just biology. But attached to this scenario are emotions and feelings of the patient which can sometimes be quite bitter. So today we tackle the clinical part of the scenario in terms of what do we do, how do we prevent this from happening, what kind of communication should be happening with the patient to preempt this kind of scenario, and medically, legally, how can we protect ourselves. I'm joined by a fantastic dentist called Dr. John Swarbrigg. And Dr. Neel Jaiswal, together they are two of the nicest guys in Dentistry. And yes, my voice does sound a little bit different. I'm sick again! Like, literally I was sick three weeks ago. I don't know why, it's like a chest infection this time. It's all these bugs that the kids bring from the school. But I'm powering through.
