It started when I broke a tiny piece of a root canal treated tooth. The first dentist did the filling wrong, it was irritating my gum. Went there and he said nothing was wrong, so I went to a new one and he confirmed it was badly done (there was a huge space between the tooth and the next one), and redone it. There's no longer the space, and when I pass the dental floss, when I touch the gum with the floss it no longer hurts my gum like it did before the filling has gotten redone. Went to the dentist today, and he said he saw no gum inflammation.
But the symptoms are exactly the same as before the re-doing of the filling, and it's been a few weeks. Google says there's two reasons why this happens with bad fillings: food getting lodged in the spaces and generating plaque accumulation which irritates the gum, or a badly fitting filling causing pressure on the gum. I suspect that it's more the latter, and I feel like this somehow is very difficult stuff that no dentist will get it done right, so I honestly feel tempted to pull the tooth out. The pain is not severe but it's very annoying, just a tiny touch with the tongue will trigger it. Or what about a crown, can a crown make things better?
