Hi all,
Had my first filling done about six weeks ago, I had a white filling on my back upper right tooth. I'm still getting pain, mainly when I chew any food on that side... I'm trying to figure out what the problem is as my Dentist keeps sending me away and telling me to wait but nothing is changing.
Some thoughts: when i poke the tooth with my finger, it seems to hurt most when touching the edge closest to the front of my mouth (so the edge which is sitting adjacent to the next tooth). When having the filling done he REALLY forced something between the gap to protect the neighbouring tooth. Can some damage of been done at this moment? When I floss between the same gap - its extremely painful, more so than chewing.
I told these things to my dentist and he was just confused. A recent x-ray shows a wisdom tooth is very close by and potentially pushing. However I would have to say I've had wisdom tooth pain before and this feels different - and also I was fine the day before the filling.
Does anyone have any ideas? / Had a similar experience ?
