Ok i did had this problem a few times before, and it's always worrying me, but eventually it goes away, it can take like 2 weeks up to maybe a month or so.
But i'm being careful of what i eat, not too hot, not too cold...sometimes not, and i think when i went to Tim Hortons to take a hot chocolate with a friend, the drink was way too hot even after putting it some cream. I did had irritated tooth nerve but it calmed down, and 1 week later i went there with a friend of mine (it was a Tuesday i think), and days later (it was a Friday i believe), it came back.
I have some questions about this.
1- Does an irritated nerve can be triggered by something too hot or too cold that i drank or ate like 1-2 days before? (it doesn't seem to happen right away, but 1 up to maybe 3 days later)
2- If the irritated/inflammed nerve isn't infected by something (like cavity or whatever), it will eventually calm down, right? (even if it take maybe like a month)
3- Is it normal that, on a tooth with a big filling, that the nerve can take more time to calm down?
4- Aleve or Advil doesn't seem to do anything about anti-inflammatory purpose. I remember taking those while i DID had this inflammed tooth nerve, and i don't think it was helping...though i was still taking them hoping it DOES something i'm not aware of. Is it normal that Ibuprofen or Naproxen doesn't really work on some kinds of inflammation? Also, is it possible that my body is getting used to this/these kind(s) of drug?
5- The tooth/teeth in question (2 molars, lower left) doesn't seem to be sensitive to pressure, though i tend to eat softer foods, and kinda avoid bubble gum since all that damned saga is happening (since summer 2012 if i remember), so it is normal for an irritated tooth nerve to not be sensitive to pressure?
6- Also, it's one of the first time(s) for me to have this since one of the molar chipped, dentist said they're able to repair it (with amalgam), so i wonder, is it normal for it to give me a bit more pain at times since the filling is bigger than before?
7- I wonder if i stop drinking coffee...can it also help in the healing? (i'm thinking that maybe coffee could interfere in the healing process...)
8- do you have any tips to help me with this?
thanks for answering my questions, i know i'm asking a lot, but i guess it's more like anxiety talking...and i do need to go out more often and think more about something else. I'm trying the best i personally can for this problem to go away. Some days it feel a bit better, some days it's coming back a little more...
