I am having some issues since 1 month now.
I got a recommendation from my dentist to change the grey filling I had on my bottom last molar on my left side since it was damaged or something like that. So, I got it fix with a white filling but for the two first weeks, it was hurting like crazy when I was eating on it. I then got an other appointment with them to check it and fix it. They took some x-ray and said that there was nothing wrong but maybe there was some occlusion going on where my teeth don't close well enough together causing more pressure on one point on my tooth. They fixed the occlusion a little. I was hoping it would fix the whole pain but in fact, it got worst. Instead of having a pain only when I was eating, I was having a constant discomfort. Within a week, I got a second appointment to adjust it again. Same, they took x-ray and they saw nothing. Again, they modified the occlusion to be sure it was not the same problem as last time. Sadly, it became worse after. I was having a constant pain but a stronger one. A kind of feeling like something was pulsing inside my gum or in my tooth/teeth. I have difficulty to tell where the pain comes from exactly. At this point, I started taking ibuprofen. I called them back after some days and asked for an other appointment. This Tuesday, they re-did the filling in grey this time since they were thinking that the white filling I got before might have been contaminated by saliva or something when they made it. Since then, I still feel the same pain. I am still taking ibuprofen since I feel like the discomfort is affecting me to the point of not wanting to work or anything else but staying in bed.
I am loosing a bit of faith on getting better like before this whole intervention. I fear it might be a bigger problem necessitating more work and time. I get really nervous every time I go to the dentist to the point that last time, they were recommending me to get some ativan for the next time I come around.
They really have no idea of what is going on and neither do I. I just know I'm having this constant pain and that I am taking ibuprofen everyday since 10 days. I keep on flossing and washing my mouth with mouth wash hoping that if it would be a gum problem, it would go away or a bacteria.
Some people told me I should crosscheck with other dentist but I am doubting that they will see something wrong since apparently everything seems fine.
Is it just possible that my tooth is taking a big amount of time to get better and that the pain will go away eventually? I am afraid of having to take ibuprofen for one month since it is not recommended due to potential side effect.
Thank you!
