Hi,
New to the forum but wish I had it last year when I started my dental health journey. Extreme white coat syndrome sufferer so I had about a decade of lapsed dental care. After a lot of therapy and with the help of meds I went in OCT of last year for an eval and clean. They were so nice, broke it down and made a plan. I need all 4 wisdom teeth removed. Choice of extensive root canal and crown on three other teeth or remove then with WT and get implants down the road. Then about 8/9 other teeth needing regular fillings. Had WT removed in DEC last year, opted to pull out the other three as well since I’m only 27 and RCT and Crown may need repair or replacement a few times over my life. Went fairly smoothly. Had my first filing appointment last month for upper and lower molar fillings on right side, some stiffness and facial muscle tension and sensitivity for a few weeks but resolving. I went in last week for right side and that went ok, less pain after even. But all of a sudden yesterday (4 days post fillings) I had pain, like semi significant but not excruciating. I can floss, brush and push teeth with tongue or finger no problem but chewing is sore and pain is up in my cheekbone and up the side of my face into temple. I do have cold sensitivity and some like general jaw nerve pain. It’s all doable with one Tylenol but I’ve now been on a steady dose for 48hours because it’s unpleasant without it. Is it possible there is a filling issue, nerve issue or is this normal healing? Did I get an infection or pulpit from bonding problem? Fillings were white composite if that’s important. I can’t feel anything weird or missing but did I possibly crack or chip the filling? I have an appointment this afternoon for my last set of fillings and I’m not sure what to tell them about what’s happening or if I ignore it and it will resolve?
