That was the week I went in to get fitted for the night guard. I told my dentist about the pain and he said it was normal to feel pain a week after a filling. A week later, still having pain. That's when I realized that the filling was too high and I went in for an adjustment. They made the adjustment but then I developed pain in my left jaw. So I went in for another adjustment.
They are the best in the field for what you are going through. I ended up with pain in my chin, neck, jaw and my arm started going number, I am still having little headaches also.
The prosthdontist is working with me on getting new crowns that will be done right.
Not all General Dentists are bad, but alot of them just do not know how to do Occlusal adjustments is what I am finding out.
Is it the tonsil causing a pain that extends to the lower jaw? I have many theories but non seems to put ease to my pain. It seems that my 3 dentist and my doctor are putting everything on the ENT now and to be honest after reading many posts here I feel the ENT will just say nothing wrong and am back to square one.
I have no cavities and get my gums cleaned twice a year,I also visit my dentist once a year.The problem I have is that I can not turn my head to the left properly,I have pain up to the back of my neck on the left side, to under the skull, the back of my throat on the left side is swollen.When my tooth was playing up,which is the top back left molar,my throat was swollen on the left side,down to my lower throat.
) horrible place to try to get to! I was at the dentist for over 2 hours, today my jaw feels like someone very large punched me there. I like my dentist but talk about unprofessional! They kept having problems with the suction and I felt like I was drowning, The assistant placing my temp crown put my chair down and back all of the way and left me there for about 5 to 10 minutes, I asked her to please put me back up because I was getting a headache! This was after being tortured for 2 hours!
I have been going back to him everyday for a week and the pain is not going away although it has changed. My tooth still feels unsettled and sensitive but the pain is concentrated in front of my ear ( this is pretty relentless) and in various places under and on the side of my jaw. The dentist has just prescribed more of the same antibiotics and said he can open the tooth up again if I want but he cannot guarentee the pain will go away. Dentists and doctors seem to only speak in code.
The tooth already had a metallic filling in it and the tooth just broke out around the back. I went to my family dentist and they informed me that I would probably need a root canal.
I went to a new dentist about two weeks ago. I was originally going for root canal but he did the vitality test and then decided I didn't need one (different dentist that originally prescribed root canal). He took the old filling out and filled it with some weird blueish/whiteish filling material.
I had a lot of pain and went back to the dentist who adjusted the bite - the pain continued - went back to the dentist who removed the temporary crown to ensure no infection - no evidence of infection but I was given antibiotics as a precaution. I had the permanent crown fitted with temporary cement as there was still a lot of pain. THe pain continued so the dentist removed the crown and gave me root canal treatment and fitted the permanent crown. The pain has continued.
I had pain in my jaw too and could not open my mouth to eat more than 1/2 inch. The dentist opened my mouth too wide . This problem went away after 3 days. Next time the dentist did not open my mouth so wide. I have a very small mouth so the average person may be able to handle their jaws to be opened very wide. Next time make sure you tell your dentist not to open it so wide.
I think your jaw will get better in time. I would suggest taking Advil due to inflammation.
Hope this helps.
t understand pain, in this day and age, with any procedure. I guess this varies from dentist to dentist. As I said before, I asked for more novocaine twice and by the time he was stiching me up, i felt i could have had another one. I felt every single stich going in and it hurt. By then I was so anxious to leave, i said nothing.
So, as long as your dentist/oral surgeon is good about keeping you pain free, I think you will be fine.
The next day reached the dentist. Went to him and he filed down the tooth. But my jaw pain continued and it was difficult for me to open my mouth. 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.
My 14 yr old daughter started with jaw pain over a week ago. Pain so bad she cried constantly. Now an abcess showed up on her second to last tooth on the gum. We took her to the dentist who would not touch her mouth until she did a round of amoxil for 10 days. we are on the 3rd day, and the pain has increased and the swelling of the left side of her face is deforming. swelling is now going under her jaw and into the neck. Is the antibotics not working?
I had a crown procedure 3 weeks ago today on my very last bottom tooth and am still suffering from incredible pain in my ear and jaw. I have been to urgent care and returned to the dentist. She performed an xray and said the tooth is fine. I was first given Valium and Aleve for relief. The relief from this treatment last about 1 hour and the severe pain returned. I was then put on flexoril which takes the "edge" off for a couple of hours.
Through out the two to three week waiting periods between temporaries and permanent pieces I have had continuous jaw pain. My dentist thought perhaps I might be alergic to temporary cememt. Permanent crowns and bridges are now in place and it has been three weeks since any real work was done aside from just cementing the last bridge into place - I am still having major jaw pain. Enough to take up to 6 Advil a day. The pain is all along the jaw up to my temples and down my neck.
Not the very back one but the next one forward. There was a cavity that the dentist was going to try to just fill but he said it would be better to go with a crown because I would probably need one in a couple of years anyway. The temporary crown was perfect. No pain whatsoever. The perm. crown was ok for about a week. Then it started to hurt when I would chew on that side. There was pain in the tooth and in the jaw area.
Well all went well at the Dentist today. I have a little mouth and there was like four hands in it and on my face! It hurt a little but he deaden it some more. They kept mashing and whatever till I thought I was going to pass out. My nerves were shot. I could barley walk out. I really thought I was going to passout. All he did was put the healing caps on my post. I told them they were going to have to give me something next time. He told me to take motrin for my jaw and teeth.
I am taking way too much ibuprofen. Had 2 crowns on bottom back 2 teeth in Feb. Continue to have pain in jaw/ear. Teeth don't hurt - I don't think they are terribly sensitive to cold.
I have appt. Monday with dentist. What can he do - what can I tell him? Will xrays see if there is infection? What if I need root canal - what will happen to my crowns?
I then went in a few weeks later to have the cavities filled as there were 2 right next to each other that were very close to the root, but the dentist was able to just repair them with a filling and not a root canal. Right around the time I went back for the fillings, the pressure/pulling in my neck/jaw had returned and I told the dentist that and after the procedure was given a 2nd round of antibiotics. After a couple days, the pain all went away and I thought everything was fine.
