Hello! It's been forever since I posted here and I was surprised I even remembered my login name. But here I am again.
I'll make this as short and concise as possible. I had another long period of no dentist visits, up until about January of this year (About a period of 7 more years). This visit was because tooth 19 had pretty much broken down on the side. This tooth was ultimately saved with a root canal and does not give me any trouble whatsoever. Cue this past Thursday the 31st of May, I go in to have four more fillings done on teeth 28-31. These go without much of a hitch whatsoever and things seem to be healing up two days later.
However, as this week starts, I notice that I am starting to develop pain underneath and around tooth 30 (The first molar). I go back in and they blow air on all those fillings to find out that 30 is still in a super sensitive state. (I nearly jumped out of the chair when they blew air on it). So, they file down the filling a bit to adjust my bite. My bite actually feels a lot better now and I seem to have no real trouble actually chewing over there on those teeth. That's the weird thing, I can put pressure all I want on the teeth but feel no pain. They also took updated x-rays of that area and could not see anything out of the ordinary.
However, I still have migrating gum pain, underneath and around the tooth. that seems to spread to adjacent teeth from time to time.
400-800 mg of Ibuprofen seems to help out the pain for about 6 hours at a time. But I am starting to fear for my stomach with how I am having to pop them like candy right now. The tooth is once again sensitive to cold and such. The other filled teeth are fine. But now I think I am starting to have referred pain up into the upper jaw now.
The gums themselves look fine. No redness. But there seems to be a very very small bump on the inside of my gum. It tastes slightly metallic there but it doesn't hurt there.
I will spare you the details but googling around has not done anything to calm my fears as to what might happen and now I am fearing I might have to live with this pain for a very long time. Just another reminder not to go around searching for these things if you have generalized anxiety issues.
Any suggestions as to what might have happened? I'm thinking about postponing any further treatment until I can get this sorted out.
