I had a filling 3 days ago in the tooth at the upper right back - dentist put in a temporary filling - after parts of filling fell out and had three days of pain. Dentist said saw a crack but wasnt across tooth so put in the temporary filling [the filling does not fill the tooth]. Since then I have had extreme pain - sometimes throbbing, sometimes dull ache [especially in upper cheek]. The pain goes up the side of my face and the bottom teeth also pain. Ive taken pain medication but it only works for a while - unable to sleep, upper teeth sensitive to pressure so shooting pain when eat [chew on opposite side] or if catch when speaking. The roof of my mouth on the side with the filling is also quite sensitive and painful. My teeth are not sensitive to hot or cold. Any help most appreciated.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Tooth pain indicates infection of the tooth that had involved the pulp tissue, such type of tooth can be root canal treated to save it permanently. As you mentioned your temporary filling was under filled and broken there are chances of food lodgment leading to pain. I would suggest you to visit to a Dentist get an x-ray constant with the root canal treatment of the tooth, unless the tooth is devitalized, disinfected and sealed to the apex you will face pain and infection. Take tab Augmenting 625\u00a0mg and tab diclofenac for three days, maintain a good oral hygiene, use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Hope this helps out. Regards...
