I have a tooth that has had to be filled twice in the past year (because the original dentist messed it up and didn't get all the decay before she filled). When my new dentist filled it he told me the filling was very close to the nerve and that if the tooth didn't settle I would need root canal. Well, the tooth didn't settle, couldn't bear anything cold on it, getting toothache etc. Went back to the dentist yesterday and he removed the nerve and put a temporary filling in as the first part of the root canal treatment. The sensitivity has completely gone, no problems with that, but I still feel like I'm getting twinges from the tooth, but how is this possible if the nerve has been removed? I'm so scared if getting an abscess that I don't know if what I'm feeling is normal or if I'm overthinking it. It doesn't hurt all the time, it's literally just the odd twinge but it's making me really anxious. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
