My teeth felt fine before I had my fillings in my molars put in. Now they hurt all the time and especially when I bite down, it is excruciating.
The dentist just told me to wait a few months, but if I go a few more months without eating, I will probably die. I can't handle the pain when chewing so I don't eat anymore.
Was this dentist on the spaceship they took you to when you were abducted? I can't imagine a human dentist would say that to you.
If your teeth hurt that much, then you most likely have an infection. If you have an infection in your teeth, then you have an infection but inches from your brain!
Get your ass to another dentist ASAP! This is nothing to be messing around with, unless you'd like your relatives to get rich after suing the dentist that killed you.
Did he just fill it or did he grind it with that tiny grinder?
is it a shock pain?
Use a toothpaste with Novamin in it.
A few months? What sort of a dentist would say that? Covering up his/her incompetence?
Can you get a second opinion? And in the meantime, keep on being careful about what you eat.
You may have a gum infection: I discovered from the "poor people's dental clinic" that I had a gum infection when I thought it was just a problem with my denture and it's because a tiny bit of tooth has come through the gum from an extraction years ago. I pretty much got rid of it in a few days by rinsing my mouth a few times a day with salty water. Now I have the prospect of having my gum cut to extract this small sliver of tooth.
Don't delay with teeth problems, neglecting them can lead to heart disease. And I do know finances are a huge issue with dental treatment!
If it was an infection, wouldn't there be a smell? My mouth smells fine and there are no lumps or swollen gums. Just severe pain.
I didn't have a smell but I did have a bit of swelling of the gums. You could have a deepseated infection which doesn't show on the surface, I don't know, I'm not a dentist, but certainly rinsing with salty water won't do any harm and could do some good until you can get your condition checked out
Alright so when I get fillings the pain is gone from within A day to a week ,
I'm no dentist so I sugest when you go to the dentist ask him/her to look at your tooth to make sure that nothing went wrong if he/she still says to just wait then try to stick to soft foods or chew on the other side of your mouth
