Still same symptoms.My dentist still suspect I have a tooth fracture.I went for core and temporary crown work this week.Told me to come back after 3 weeks due permanent crown.I don't know for sure if I have tooth fracture.Still have same symptoms. Constant burning pain in neck and lower jaw under ear. Can I do permanent crown?How to know if I have tooth fracture? I have very sore pain on the gum and tooth on that tooth after temp crown work.

It doesn't seems to be tooth fracture, but let the CBCT report come, your x ray shows a root stump also in the region of wisdom tooth, kindly get that extract first, it might be the cause of your problem... don't go for permanent crown till pain subsides! Do share your cbct report once you get them... Get well soon!
