I forgot to mention the pain got worse when the dentist drilled down into the tooth after the anethesia. Even chewing is ok, but the throbbing was there off an on. I had what the dentist called a small filling done on my bottom right side (fourth tooth from the front) A couple of days after the filling i noticed that it was uncomfortable at times when i would chew food on that side, it would make me jump but it wasn’t all that painful. ?Or is just normal pain and will hopefully go away in few days ? It started the next day with throbbing and over the past 7 days it has got slightly better each day and it’s now just a small, more niggling sort of pain.

My theory is wearing the retainer at night and (perhaps) clenching (though a sleep study revealed not a single evidence of grinding/clenching – but I’ll work with the “go to” that DDS seem to suggest as a cause – that “if” I did clench that the ‘extra’ compressive forces multiplied the compression forces greatly causing the cracks, splits, and perhaps craze lines. I see some people need to wait months for the nerve to ‘calm down’, and I’m fine doing that. Thanks Gareth. last 2 months has got worse and now requiring very strong painkillers to even control and get any sleep at night. The zirconia is very tough; I honestly think I could chew nails with this thing. It doesn’t bother me at all during the day but at night the gum swells a bit around the back of the tooth with the filling and between them, and throbs. This pain has become agonizing, I went to the dentist and the xray seems to show the tooth is ok.

I caught an infection in it and I was very stressed and upset that my tooth wouldn’t be saved. The dentist told me that my own teeth were in bad shape underneath as the seals weren’t good and so a lot of decay had formed and he had to drill more tooth away than he was happy with therefore I may need root canals. One of the reasons (one of many) that I’m terrified to get a crown or implant is that I really want to get braces again once my husband finishes grad school at the end of this year and has a long-term job, and I don’t know if I can have them if I’m missing my real teeth. I had the crown buildup done mid-February and had a temporary crown for a couple of weeks. When I accidentally bite a piece of food, however, the pain will flair to the jaw and ear. In an emergency, I’m sure you’d want to get it at the local pharmacy anyhow. Can you tell me how long it is possible to have pulpitis without the pulp dying and causing intense pain?

I went to another dentist who checked it and said that the other dentist might have already started the root canal and it s too late now. If the tooth decay never went to the nerve AND there is enough tooth structure left to hold onto a crown, then you wouldn’t need to have the root canal done before the crown is placed. Does continuing sensitivity indicate that the nerve is still alive? This wasn’t something new as from time to time (maybe 1x a year) I’d feel this but the “inflammation” would normally last only a day or two, But NOT this time though!… over the course of a week my gums around this molar were inflamed and the pressure/pain became massive beyond belief! Any thoughts on this? Sometimes it feels like the pain is from the injection site, sometimes it feels like the top teeth hurt, sometimes the jaw. Several days later I had a cup of hot tea and my front tooth was extremely sensitive, even to warm, but not cold.

In the couple of days before the filling, that area had been aching intermittently, but I never had any real sensitivity to hot, cold, or biting. The nerve and crown both look normal. It could be that due to your excessive brushing, your gums have receded slightly, and that the acid is irritating the root of your tooth which is not coated in enamel. It’s a constant ache and im taking ibuprofen for it. About a month ago, I ran into a metal pole playing basketball (ouch!). It sounds like a cracked tooth. Ive had filling in one of lower back teeth.and some cavities scraped from opposite upper teeth.after a couple of days when I bite on something hard the top teeth hurt.It is not a continuous or bad pain.just a sharp feeling that subsides when I stop chewing.

When that ran out, I felt much better but asked for a refill and took a second 10-day course (500 mg x 3x/day). I have resisted taking Advil because I want to be able to trace what makes the pain worse. here is my issue/question. It happened after I chewed on dried fruit using the veneered tooth for three nights in a row. Throbbing and cold sensitivity….but constant pain. my dentist at the time advised me to remove the upper ones as well and get it over with because according to him they will only cause me trouble. I don’t have any classic symptoms of needing a root canal, that’s what I am hesitant to get one. Still getting the pain spontaneously. My only guess is that the tooth is slightly irritated from the filling, so it’s already a little bit more sensitive than your other teeth and when the blood rushes to your head, it forces more blood into the nerve of the tooth. Thank you – Thank you – Thank you for any help you can provide. I have not been to a dentist since Jan 2014.

I took some ibuprofen before I went to bed, and the tooth felt better in the morning, and I have not had any pain in it since. With the amount of lingering pain, I’m guessing irreversible pulpitis.

I’ve never had any fever or chills and the pain has never been severe. My origianl problem was a cavity so close to the nerve the dentist said he could actually see my nerve. But, if it’s ‘dying’, it’s NOT dead yet, right? It could be that they are cracked, but it seems like you would have felt something when the temporary crowns were on if that was the case.

An X-ray was taken today and the dentist said that my filling was deep and right down to the pulp.
