I had a filling not this Monday but the Monday after that i was in quite about of pain and the cavity was very very close to the nerve. After the filling i had heaps of pain in my jaw when i open it it hurts like a very sharp pain until i close it and then it goes away it is extremely painful in the morning and can somethings make my throat hurt. I have to get more fillings on Monday and im really worried because this is very painful. Is this normal after having a filling? Also on my right side which is the opposite to where i got my filling down underneath the gum and teeth on the side of the chin is hurting.
Hello Rachael, Thanks for your query, As you provided the detail, i would like to suggest you, please visit back to your dentist and get the x-ray done for all the filled teeth. X-ray will be helpful to rule out the origin of pain. After all the examination, clinical and x-rays, go for the removal of the filling of the pain causing tooth and get a proper treatment. Treatment options for your problem are-1.root canal treatment.2.extraction of the tooth. I would like to suggest you, save your tooth and go for root canal treatment of the same. Nothing to get worried. Take care. Chat Doctor.
