Hi: I understand everyones fears of the dentist. I always have my work done while under anaesthetic. The reason for my post is this. 2weeks ago i had 1 broken tooth fixed and filled and the 2 molars beside it filled.. all were large fillings. When i come out of my sleep i felt the one tooth very rough. I told dentist and he said i had already lost the filling, was puzzled how that could have happened. But he ground the tooth and refilled the area. Now that tooth is causing me a bit of grief. I did go back to him after 5 days but i wasnt sure that was the problem as i had a bad canker sore from the injection and all my teeth that were worked on felt sore. I have been living off tylenol and advil ( although i can get away with maybe 1 or 2 times in a day lately. Now this tooth is sensitive to cold, hot, it feels a bit weird to bite on and a bit sensitive, i receive a very painful feeling if anything touches it and it lasts several minute. However i really avoid chewing on this side with any food. The pain seems to radiate also, throughout my jaw ( i do have tmj). I cannot lay on either side of my face at night or im in pain, however i can use fingers on my cheekbon and jawbone to alleviate some of the discomfort during the day. I am thinking that maybe when he refilled the tooth it wasnt done properly or maybe i just have to wait for a bit longer for it to heal. I know this is alot to read and im sorry for that. Any ideas what im up against here? PS my bite is way off. but it has been for over 20 years.
