I had a few old filling replaced witChatDoctorposite fillings. The following Monday I went back to my dentist and he reshaped the teeth in the area because he said that the bottom hitting into the top. That was 2 weeks ago. Since then Ive been experiencing pain and super-sensitivity and the pain is getting progressively worse and now its traveled to my ear, neck and throat. Ive been taking Aleve to try and stop the pain but its not working. The pain is nearly unbearable at night. Chewing even soft foods is painful. Smiling and talking is painful. I hope he can squeeze me in first thing tomorrow but is there anything I can do tonight to alleviate the pain so I can sleep tonight?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Oain in the filled tooth can be because of two reasons, there could be dental caries left beneath the restored tooth which when reaches the pulp tissue causes inflammation of pulp known as pulpits. Or there could be presence of high points if you feel pain at the time of chewing or other tooth movements. I would suggest you to consult the concerned Dentist and get an x-ray done and accordingly replace the filling with RCT or get it trimmed as required. Take tab combliflam 500\u00a0mg for pain relief. Take care!
