Hi everyone,
I'm totally terrified and I mean TERRIFIED of dentists, but I do have a good one, so I'm not sure what's happening here. I have teeth missing from both sides in my upper mouth (bad very old root canals that had to be extracted). I want to do implants on one side, but bc of the expense, decided to go with a bridge on the other. After the temporary bridge, my (anchoring) teeth were very sensitive but improved with time. I was actually able to chew soft things.
HOWEVER, it's been two weeks after the permanent bridge was put in and I'm in so much pain I have to keep popping advils and codeine. My dentist "fixed" my bite (the bridge was a bit high) but it's only helped marginally. One of my anchoring teeth was sensitive to begin with, but the other was perfectly healthy and now it's a mess. I'm waking up in the middle of the night in pain. I have to take medication all the time. Is this common? The pain went away once he froze my teeth to "fix" the bite, but now it's back. I'm at the end of my rope and I hate taking pills. Any suggestions or ideas... Please..?? (
Thank you....
