Likely. And it did keep the remaining tooth healthy for 12 years, not too shabby.
Ibuprofen is keeping me sane, went from annoying Wednesday night to **** my life Friday night.
You’ll need X-rays to make sure you don’t have an abscess. I would avoid a root canal and opt for tooth extraction and a tooth implant. Root canals kill the tooth and make the eventual tooth extraction much more difficult. You’ll be much happier in the long run.
Dont get a root canal.
Or try heavy flossing and cleaning with salt and vit c washes and taking methylene blue.
Removal. Maybe a non metal replacemement.

I've had it happen, get ready to meet your new best friend....the Endodontist. So find a good one
If you do it find a good one that really practices clean methods and staybaway from toxins. Infection risk isnt insignicant.
Get it looked at quick.
Waited too long for something similar, it wasn’t a pleasant experience.
Almost 100% of time if you are that much in pain the dentist is gonna prescribe you amoxicillin for the infection and some pain reliever regimen for a week before they fix it.
Next time in Mexico come back with amoxicillin and you'll thank yourself later. When you feel it come on do what they are gonna tell you to do anyway and you won't be in unbearable pain until your appointment.
God speed my friend. Tooth pain is up there with being a Nebraska fan.

Yeah, it feels like I blew half my face off in a previous life.
Just called your DDS. The only time they have available tomorrow is tooth hurty
Have you tried a chiropractor. I hear tooth pain is a simple spine adjustment.
Sucks man. I had this happen on an old crown heading into a weekend once. I was taking shots of whisky all weekend to numb it.
Endontist did a retreat on it. Few years later, same shit. So he sends me to the oral surgeon. They did a reverse root canal, called like apico or something. They went in and cut the root at the base, treated it from that side, and closed it back up. That was probably 5 years ago. No issues since, knock on wood.
It isn’t if you know what’s going on. OP is a chiropractor…
See your dentist first, might be an infection of some sort. An x-ray should figure that out quickly. On that note, do you floss/brush regularly? When's the last time you had your teeth cleaned?
If the above isn't the problem, you got 12 years out of the crown. That's a pretty good lifespan. But if not an infection, chances are you're going to need a new crown no matter what and whether a root canal is needed is difficult to say.
Anyway, get to your dentist ASAP no matter what.

Just had a cleaning 2 weeks ago, no cavities. I did lose a tooth behind the crown 5 years ago. I flossed as best I could, but the crown was so tight to the other tooth, I ended up getting decay on the base of the tooth that abutted the crown.
I know, but you get the joke.
Hmmmm, interesting. I take it that the pain began after the cleaning.
Yeah...unless you get really lucky here, you're probably in for (best case really) a new crown. Just guessing of course, but I've got I believe 4 crowned teeth and they can definitely ruin your day. One thing I do know, you just don't want to let it linger very long. I've been lucky in that I've had my dentist for 30 years now. If I have a hot tooth, he usually finds time quickly to at least figure out what's going on.
Good luck.
It’s actually hilarious. A dude in my high school went to a chiropractor for a torn ACL.
After a slight accident broke and cracked some teeth, I had to have a root canal. Considering what I had always heard, it wasn't bad at all.
Nothing worse that a toothache. Earache comes awful close. F both of them
