Has anyone had a squeezing tooth feeling after having dental work that does not go away? Also feels like gum is swollen
even though I don't think it is. I can feel the swollen feeling around gum in upper tooth that was worked on and teeth next to it plus the lower gum on same side where I had wisdom tooth extracted and lower tooth next to it.
I had 2 wisdom teeth removed on upper and lower left side a year ago.
The lower tooth had a cyst and was right sitting on a nerve.They only took half of the tooth and cyst, I was doing well with no problems until 6 weeks later I went to my dentist to get fillings on upper and lower left side 2nd molars. The day I had the filling on upper tooth I went home in terrible pain. Turns out the upper one had to get root canal. Heres the thing. When the tooth hurt badly after the filling it not only had extreme pain it mostly had terrible pressure in it which made the lower left side jaw hurt as well. Then after the root canal the crazy part is. The pressure never left. Plus I can feel the pressure in the lower left jaw too. Its worse in the upper left 2nd molar that was filled and rt canal-ed. It has completely changed me. I am distracted by it everyday. Its very uncomfortable. I want my life back. I want to feel normal again. It feels like my gum is swollen on that side and or a ton of pressure like somebody pushing on tooth and lower jaw. Oral surgeon says he doesn't know, but kinda blames it on clenching. I wore a night guard doesn't help. I take magnesium which helps with clenching tremendously. All the dental work I had to go through without a break in a years time caused this clenching which now is very much improved. My jaw feels off and not line properly but they put that tape between teeth and say its fine. I don't know what to do or who to go to anymore. Will I be like this forever ? I thought because dentist see so many patients, that there had to be somebody they worked on with my symptoms. I really figured by now with seeing the oral surgeon, endodontist and dentist that one of them would have an answer. Does anyone else have these symptoms? or has any of you dentist out there encounter this with your patients. I am searching for answers.
