jaw pain after getting filling

I also have TMJ Syndrome and grind my teeth horribly. I had pain around the my ear just because of the jaw problems. I'm not sure if it's my jaw or my tooth hurting... but I'm pretty sure it's the tooth.. What should I do?

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 This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/422117'>pain and sensitivity after filling on different tooth</a>.

I went back yesterday. They said that the jaw pain is normal and should go away after a week?? I did have shots to numb it the first time. I'm not sure the very far back ones on my bottom on both sides and top left back one. My jaw still doesn't open all the way without hurting some kind of bad. Thanks for anyhelp you can give.

Sometimes after getting a shot in the area near the tooth, there will be pain for a couple of days after. My gum swelled and was sore for atleast 4 days after my fillings were done. It does go away.

The very next day I woke up and the front of my chin was numb and the front teeth on the right side where I had had the filling. Jaw pain was going into my ear. The next day could not reach the dentist went to emergency thought I was having a stroke. Doctor there said I had an infection gave me prescription for an antibiotic. Finally reached the dentist he sent me to an endodontist for root canal. Endodontist could not see where I needed root canal. He sent me to an oral surgeon.

After getting this tooth and the one behind it re-filled, I started having pain that night and especially the next day. I went back to the dentist a couple days later and they took x-rays and found nothing wrong, put me on penicillin just in case an infection was starting. Still no pain in the tooth or the one behind it; but severe pain in the jaw and ear and glands in the neck.

Hello. One week ago, I had two small cavities filled in my lower jaw on the right-hand side. I felt no pain during the procedure, and that night I felt only the pain that's typical after this kind of procedure. I had the procedure done Tuesday afternoon, and then Thursday afternoon I began to feel a pain that spread out over the area where the anesthesia was. My upper and lower jaw, the area around my ear, that all hurt.

Even though if you still having pain then you can use jaw strengthening exercises or jaw stretching exercises to get relief from jaw pain.

Hi, I'm 22 years old guy and just had my first filling done as I had developed deep cavity. So.. After dentist finished job, he told me that I'll have tooth pain/tooth sensitivity for the few days, because he opened pulp ( or something else ) to look if it's healthy out there - It was very healthy out there, but he told me this tooth nerve can get inflamed at anytime and I'll need root canal.

My pain was so severe last night when I went to bed that I took 1 800mg ibuprofen and 2 Vicodin before the pain would subside and I could sleep. When I woke this morning there was no pain and then 30 min after getting up I could start to feel fullness and the tinges of the pain coming back. It comes in agonizing spurts but lasts for 2-4 hours and is very difficult to get rid of. And of course, this is a long weekend.

Hello, It t is normal to experience jaw pain and other effects after a filling. However this pain usually does not last long and you can take some over-the-counter pain killers. Other causes could be either the restoration is too high causing excessive pressure on that tooth. It is possible to have some sensitivity from the white composite filling chemicals used .If the symptoms are severe and persistent see your dentist and get evaluated. I hope you find this information useful.

I also had fillings on the same jaw soon after as well. The gum pain worsened after 3 weeks from the initial deep cleaning and is now also in the jaw. However, initially after the deep cleaning the pain was reduced for a couple of days. The dentist believes this is cause by night teeth grinding, but don't think so. The pain starts at night while I am still awake and becomes worse when I lay down.

Seeing an endodontist and periodontist to evaluate pulpal and periodontal status is advised. If there is no evidence of pulpal and periodontal infection, seeing an occlusionist or prosthodontist to adjust occlusion is advised.

I haven’t been able to open my mouth past 1cm for years now, after a fall down a cliff and petrified of dentists (after a filling in a molar but the tooth fell out a month later with excruciating pain after the filling) much relief when it fell out. I just need to know if I can go to the doctors to be referred to the hospital as I can feel two wisdom teeth under the gums which I think is why my jaw doesn’t open. Any help be appreciated.

Going back to your dentist to have occlusal adjustment is advised.

Thanks for the advice. I am still in agony. No blood clot present over tooth. Taken Amoxycillian for 5 days so far 1500mg per day. Painkillers Ibuprofen dont work. coedine takes the edge off it slightly. At least I think I know what the cause is now and I've read up on it, so will ask dentist if he can pack the tooth to give me some relief and cure the problem. Jaw is now yellow with bruising and jaw and ear pain really severe. Worst pain I've been in.
