Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004weird pain after filling
Just wondering if this is normal, or something that will go away.. I had a filling done on a tooth, the tooth is second from the back on the lower right of my mouth. The side of the tooth had sort of dissapeared (as in broken to bits over time due to decay i believe) it was the side closest to the last tooth. So anyway the dentist filled all that up but now i just cant eat on that side of my mouth. Its not exactly pain as in like someone stabbing me there with a needle but just that extremely horrible feeling you get from the nerves. Its fine any other time and not sensative to hot or cold, but the moment i put any pressure on just the filling area its an unbearable feeling. The filling was only 24 hours ago so is this normal and possibly going to go away ? its making eating near impossible except for very soft foods. Thanks for any advice James >Just wondering if this is normal, or something that will go away..

The sign of pulpal (nerve) death is an extremely painful toothache .. followed by ... NOTHING! Yup, when you think the pain is gone, that spells future trouble.

Contact your dentist and have it evaluated soon.  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S. Troy, Michigan, USA ....................................................

I've always understood a Phoenix abcess to be _ideopathic_ in origin. IOW, ther is no previous caries or demonstrable trauma... The tooth just dies mysteriously and necessitates RCT. Biopsies from the abcess are typically sterile. Just my recollection SP SignatureNot a real Addy, yet >>> The filling was only 24 hours ago so is this >>>>normal and possibly going to go away ?
