Hello all! I'm new to the fourm...Although I've been "lurking" for quite some time considering I've had so much work done lately, it's safe to say this site has helped me with most of my questions and concerns!
so two weeks ago, I had 3 fillings (white) on my lower left tooth, (sorry..not sure exactly what tooth) and my dentist said they were "REALLY DEEP!!!" they gave me the enjection which literally shocked my entire face and sent a major pain sensation into my bottom front teeth.. the dr said he may have hit a nerve or some muscle. After some violent drilling, he finished within the hour and said it was close to the nerve but was sure there was no need for a Root Canal.
It's been two weeks as of yesterday and I keep getting woken up because of my jaw pain, toothache! if I bite down really hard I get a dull ache, it's not a really bad pain.. it's just annoying! I went back and they took another X-ray and he said it looked fine and it's probably because the work was so close to the nerve that it irritated it and will calm down in a few weeks?! Has anyone been through this before?? i'm stressed because my insurance ran out and im strapped for cash!!! PLZ HELP!!!
