Jaw Pain After a Crown - the 30 Seconds That Would Have Changed It | #occlusion
Jaw pain after a crown isn’t always a complication; sometimes it’s a missed clue. In this case, a single, well-made crown led to jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and a frustrated patient. Nothing looked obviously wrong. The crown was adjusted. A splint was made. The symptoms got worse. This video walks through how a routine crown changed mandibular position, why posterior support matters more than we think, and how one simple 30-second occlusal test could have predicted the outcome before the tooth was ever prepped. This isn’t about bad dentistry. It’s about occlusal stability, vertical stops, and knowing which teeth are actually holding the bite. If you’ve ever placed a crown and thought, “I don’t see what could have caused this,” this case will feel familiar. Understanding these small clinical clues is the foundation of good dentistry, and of the reputation that comes with it.
