Hello! I'm seeing my dentist on Monday so I'll ask him this but in the meantime, I thought I'd ask here! After a long time without going to the dentist due to a mental issue (agoraphobia), I got a filling done on a cavity that I've had for a while. The cavity was deep, but not so deep that I needed a root canal. My dentist told me it'd be sensitive for a week or so, but to talk to him if it gets worse or if there's any throbbing pain.
With the pain, yes. But the pain medication doesn't address the actual problem so you'll have to see what's going on. Sometimes the tooth/nerve can start to die and result in less pain as well.
The dentist flossed around the crown and between the tooth with the new filling and I instantly felt pain. The pain goes all the way down to the jaw. I told the dentist and he said it should go away in a few days. I do not understand how it felt fine before, and now it is in pain. I would appreciate any help because now I am fearful of going back.
Now I gues the freezing was not working so I had to get a lot of freezing, so much that it was numb up to my eye basically. He did the filling, lots of pain, the usual. So the next day I had pain, took some tylenol, figured I just had lots of work done so I'll let it heal. So about a week goes by and still MASSIVE amount of pain. I went back, he says it's my bite, because of how much freezing I had done, it was hard to fix my bite properly. OK I get my bite fixed.
He repeated the procedure again the next day, taking out the filling, claning the cavity and replacing the filling. He also prescribed a course of antibiotics. 30 hours later and I am in agony, painkillers not working, my whole lower jaw throbbing, unable to sleep or even put my teeth together. Help. I'm due to go back tomorrow when he says he will replace the originall root canal filling. Will this help?
yeah i had root canal tratment done to it and i have had this problem since, the temporay filling has fallen out and i think this has caused bacteria to form, i cant feel my jaw but do feel extream pain, i think it is all over my nerves, saw dentist and he told me to keep taking antibiotics, i have stared 4 days ago a new strong one but no effect yet.
Yes, but I had a cavity and it was fine for me to have a local anesthetic and a filling. But I do know there is a condition you can get in pregnancy where your jaw gives you tooth pain, especially if you've had a clicky jaw before, and common around 1st trimester when the relaxin hormones kick in. You can probably google it.
i had a deep filling done yesterday and although i have taken 4 painkillers this morning nothing seemsto help the deep aching jaw pain andin top of cheek

My 8 year old son has an extensive cavity in tooth #14 and it has to be removed. He also has an extensive cavity in tooth # 19 which doesn't include the root, like the cavity in #14 does. The dentist wants to do a root canal and filling in tooth #19 and then a crown when the tooth finishes breaking through the gum. He also has EXTREME crowding in his lower jaw with his front 4 teeth almost sideways.
Hello,
I went to the dentist about four months ago and I was told that I needed a cavity filling between teeth #'s 19 and 20 I believe. It was a very small cavity from what the dentist told me. He filled the cavity, and everything seemed fine for a few weeks.
