tooth pain
by Natalie511, Jul 10, 2008 02:14PM
Hello. I had a few cavities filled about ten days ago and I am having some pain on my upper left tooth. My dentist told me because of the trauma (so close to the nerve) that I would be experiencing some discomfort and that it would be a hard area to floss now. I cannot chew on that side of my mouth at all and the pain is getting worse. I had no pain before I entered the dentist office and now am in a great deal of discomfort. Is this normal? Also, when I left she mentioned something about if the pain gets worse , that I may need a root canal. And when I called the dental assistant told me that denistry is somewhat of a 'guessing game' and that you just have to wait and see. I am taking up to 4 Ibprofen a day , which helps, but today the pain is by far the worst. Any advice? Thank you so much.
