LISA, you should avoid eating too hot or too cold immediately after filling as the tooth is freshly worked upon and any fresh trauma can damage the tooth. Was your pain radiating to the temple region, if yes than it was most likely due to high filling and in this case pain takes some time to go. But if the pain was only restricted to tooth than it can be due to acute trauma while filling. Now since you are still experiencing continuous pain than i suggest you to get an X ray done. It will give you and your dentist an idea about what the main cause is?

Went to the dentist about 5 weeks ago for a "small" filling. She said it wasn't deep. Never had any pain before, but decided I should have it filled to void problems later. Immediately after the novicaine wore off I had discomfort. Couldn't chew on that side and cold was excruciating. Went back for an adjustment. Dr. Said the filling could be too high. The pain still persisted. But the pain was ONLY when I ate or had cold other than that it didn't hurt. Went back again for another adjustment. Dr told me to give it time. It could take 6-8 weeks for sensitivity to go away. That seemed like a LONG time to me. Almost 5 weeks has passed and now I have constant pain that is unbearable. This all seems very strange to me for a VERY SMALL cavity to begin with. HELP!!!!

SUZZANE, From your history it seems that due to hard biting, your tooth suffered deep trauma that may have caused damaged to roots. Now to see the extent of damage your tooth requires manual examination and shooting of an Xray. There are chances that RCT has to be done looking at the damage. You can also visit the orthodontist and get it checked.If its due to night grinding than s/he will give you night guard.

Hi there
I need a bit of help.
I went to the dentist in febuary and she told me i needed my first two fillings (im 23). I opted to get a white filling on the bottom right molar. She told me it wasnt deep. Weeks later i would get a presure pain if i bit down at night. Couple of weeks later and i never got it again. In april i went on holiday and bit down on something hard and WHAM there it was pain and everytime i triied to eat it would kill me. It did subside over time but I still couldn't bit on anything that wasnt soft. I went back to my dentist and she said she wasnt worried about it becuase it wasnt deep and she then shaved a bit off and told me to come back in two weeks if it didnt get any better. Two weeks came and gone and i was still pressure sensitive but not as bad. So three days ago she took out the filling to have a look and she said it was deep after all and she could see a tiny crack in my tooth, she went on ahead a filled it back up. She also told me that she didnt know what way it would go but if it did not inprove i would have to get a root canal done. After the numb feeling wore off i was in pain but only when i ate something and it would last about 20 seconds, i also hurt if i rubbed my tongue over it, it all started to go away by the end of the night and yesterday i had only a slight pain but it was barely noticeable. Today im still the same as yesterday but a bit tender.
Could this also be down to me grinding at night maybe? Should i go back to the dentist? I have no clue if this is normal.

Shickey, the first thing you should do is to get your bite checked as sometimes the pain (as you mentioned is felt in ear) is due to high filling. If the bite is OK, than get an X-ray done as due to crack in tooth there are chances that infection is still inside and needs to be corrected.
The third thing of pain can be filling material impinging on gums. There are many cases where due to overfilling the material pokes the gingiva. So, try flossing between the teeth where pain is felt.
And immediately consult your dentist.

Hi, I had a filling done more than a month ago, and right after the filling, I was in a lot of pain. I went back to the doctor and he adjusted it. After that I did not eat from that side for a couple weeks, and then i started to eat again. I am able to bite on that side, however if I try to bite grainy products like tiny seeds, i feel discomfort. Also, as of late, randomly at night I am feeling tremendous pain not side on the side, but the pain goes till my ears. It is like a pounding pain and appears randomly. Ever since the filling, my tooth has not been the same, and even during the procedure I felt a lot of pain. The dentist vaguely mentioned there is crack on the teeth. I don't know what to do, I think my dentist is try to rip off my insurance company and not diagnosing it properly to take as much money from me. Please advise what i should do?

Sunita, If the pain is subsiding then you can wait for another day or two. It takes maximum around a week for the tooth to settle down especially with the metallic filling. if the pain increases or it is there even after week then you may be needing the root canal treatment.

I didn't have any pain in the tooth before the Dr. put a filling in. Dr. said it was a big cavity ergo a big filling. Now my tooth is sensitive to hot and cold and the pain is terrible. No trouble before the filling, now filled and it hurts. Happens every time, I feel like it is better not to ever get work done.

Meg Senga,whether the pain will come again or not depends upon the cause of pain. If the pain was there because during filling due to the procedure the tooth became painful or it was because the filling was high then the pain will not come back but if it was due to infection then the pain can reoccur.

Thanks for the suggestion Dr Ritz. I took in some pain relievers and antibiotics for a week and the pain gradually subsided. What are the chances that the condition of my tooth will worsen?

Lisa,from your symptoms it looks like the tooth is infected . You have to go for the root canal treatment. Initially the abscess is not visible on X-ray .

I had a lost filling replaced on tooth #7 which was close to the root/pulp - dentist said he saw blood but was unsure if it was from root/pulp or nicking my gums. Pain started 8 days later with ice cream and lasted for 5 days. I saw him 3 days ago and xray did not show abscess but he gave me Penicillin anyway. I have a nagging and pulling pain in my sinus above the tooth especially when I lay down, I only drink with a straw (fear of cold) and am wondering if I should allow time to heal and how much time or if I should have the root canal done. It has gotten 50% better but while foods do not bother it, its more like my sinus and ear and neck that hurts. What do you think?

Raed It is normal to have pain after getting the filling for a day or two as the tooth takes some time to settle down.If you feel that the filling is high then get it adjusted otherwise wait for 2 to 3 days. The pain will subside.

Meg Senga, if you have pain even after the 3 weeks of filling then your tooth is infected.In infected tooth only two treatment options are available. You can get the tooth extracted and go for implant or the fixed bridge or get the root canal treatment done and get the crown. Getting root canal treatment is a better options as the root canal treated teeth have good prognosis.

I have tooth pain after filling and it has been 3 weeks already and pain just gets worse and worse. My dentist tells me that I might need to hav my tooth removed or a root canal. It is a front tooth, i dont want to have it removed and a root canal does not guarantee a viable tooth. What other advance options do I have?

Miss tan, Pain for 3-5 days after dental filling is normal. It takes some time for filling to adjust. Pain on biting can be because of filling being close to nerve or can be because of some high point on dental filling. Root canal treatment is done when infection reaches pulp portion of the tooth. Tooth may or may not pain and cause sensitivity before root canal treatment. If there is high point on dental filling, then get selective grinding to correct it. Without clinical and radiographic examination, it is difficult to comment that whether root canal treatment will be required or not. If pain doesn’t regress, then you can take a second opinion of a dentist. If infection has reached the pulp which has nerve, then root canal treatment will be required.
