Last January my wisdom teeth became severely infected because they were all impacted. I'd had no problems up till then, but went to a dentist who referred me into a surgeon who took them all out in one fell swoop. I went back in July to my dentist who done a cleaning and said that I needed two fillings. My very back tooth and if counting my wisdom tooth, the fifth tooth from the back on the top.
I got the two done and then was told to come a few weeks later to get my very back teeth top and bottom done on the other side. So I went in to get them done. Halfway through the top one, my dentist sent her assistant out to get some more stuff, and after she was finished she explained that the top tooth was really badly decayed, so instead of a filling, she put in a temporary filling and I was to go back in December to get it permanently filled.
I went back in November because that tooth was hurting me, but my regular dentist was away so I was seen by another dentist in the practice who said I needed a root canal (at a cost of €350, and eventually a crown at about €450). He wanted to do it there and then, but I wasn't as comfortable with him as with my own dentist so I made an appointment for the following week to either get a root canal or an extraction from my own dentist.
When I went in to see her, she done an xray (the small little one) and said that the tooth was fine, and didn't need a root canal and to come back the following month for the filling. I went back, got the filling done and it was all grand.
I was there again three weeks ago for a routine cleaning and my teeth are gorgeous and sparkling now, but unfortunately ever since the whole right side of my mouth has been sore. I don't know which tooth the pain is even coming from because it's that bad and it's spreading into my throat and eye too. Painkillers tend to get rid of the worst of it for about 16-18 hours and then it comes back with a vengence. I feel weak and nauseous because the pain is that bad. I'm not sure if I should go back to the same dentist, as every time I go, I seem to end up in more pain with more problems.
Just wondering if anyone has ever had pain like this three weeks after a cleaning?
(Sorry for the long winded post, but I figured if I explained everything then it would be easier for people to give advice)
