Two weeks ago I had a filling replaced as it was disintegrating and the tooth was a bit sensitive. Took diazapam and all my guts to get me in the chair as I am severely phobic of the sound of the drill..Filling seemed fine, but the next day I had horrible pain when I bit down on food..in the bottom tooth below that meets it.
I gave it a day or two but it became more sensitive..didn't like hot or cold either and I couldn't tell whether the pain was in the top, bottom or both.
Went back and my dentist filed down the filling a little although it didn't look high.
Anyway another week on..can't chew anything but very soft food and hot or cold (especially cold) stuff sends pain ALL along the nerve.It FEELS like the bottom tooth not the top..but it was fine before the top was filled. I am mainlining painkillers
What do I do? Should I give it another week or so to see if it settles? Could it be a coincidence and my bottom tooth just happens to have conked the day my top was filled? I am in a lot of discomfort
