I chipped my tooth yesterday so today I went to the dentist to get it bonded together so there was no chip.. I didnt know there was also a cavity in that same tooth.. so the dentist did what ever he was supposed to then he fixed the chipped tooth. I left the dentist completely numb.. which I am not complaining about because I hate pain. But now that it is starting to ware off.. the whole right side of my nose/face hurt. is this just from the shot? will it go away or is there an infection? I have had an infection before due to the dentist not doing the filling correctly .. which resulted in a root canal... which resulted in more pain so ended up removing the tooth. Thanks
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Please note that there is either high points on your filling which is causing sharp pain to you, or it could be pulpits(decay involving soft tissues of teeth). In either of the above cases please see your dentist soon and get it evaluated.a radiograph can show the present condition and cause for pain.Meanwhile, you can use painkillers every six hourly until you see your dentist. You can also do warm saline rinses. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
