I had a crown put on a broken tooth 10 days ago. I still have an ulcer and quite a bit of pain on the gum under the crown. The novacaine injection hurt terribly, like never before. Could there have been some damage that I still have pain.�The office�told me to keep gargling with�salt�water. But after 10 days, the ulcer from what I think was�traumafrom the instruments is still here. Can this�traumacause an�abscess?

It's unusual to have an ulcer post treatment. Get a second opinion. Extended margin of the cap can be one of the problem.

Yes if infected it may cause an abscess. Don't worry pl rinse your mouth with chilled water with ice cubes 3-5 times a day. Pl put icecream in the area of the ulcer for 1 n minute then eat it. You may continue rinsing with hot salt water. Apply honey over the ulcer n injection area. If ulcer doesn't heal soon pl consult a dental surgeon.
