I am an avid reader of this news group and ever thankful for the time
and advise I have got from this group.Special thanks are due to Dr Joel
and Dr Steve.

This is the first time in my life that I have had so much recurring
pain.

I went to a dentist near by,as I was felling decay while smelling my
floss around these tooth.

This is my upper left jaw,between the molar and TWO premolar that I
believed I had some cavity.He (the dentist) took my Xray and didnt
explaiend anything(is it normal to not explain to patients what is
wrong???)he gave anesthesia and filled three of my tooth.For the molars
he put some kind of composite filling.He cured it with a machine.

All said and done and its ten days, and after many Tylenols since than
the recurring pain in my upper left jaw is not ending.The strange thing
is that,the tooth (all of them,or so do I feel)hurts as well as the
jaw...and I cant pin point a spcific tooth.

I went back to the denitst and explained and he further reduced my
teeth,saying that material MAYBE overfilled.

It just still is hurting.I would be very thankful for all your
answers.PLEASE help me.

Q:Is it ok to fill three tooth(adjacent to each other) in one
sitting.Is that the cause of the pain?
Q:Should the dentist have not temporarily filled the molar (as was done
by my dentist two years back in princeton).
Q:What options I have.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

We do that all the time.

Temporary filling has no bearing on your pairs. temporary fillings do
not help this type of situation.

>Q:What options I have.

Probably RCT, but cannot tell for here

Thanks doctor,

My pain is of a strange type.Its not continous.I was fine whole day and
suddnely at home in the evening it started and became unbearble.

It lasted a few hours and slowly diffused.

In this scenario,should I wait.The dentist is nice,he is willing to
refill it this sat.

Please advise.Should I wait.
As I do not want my teeth agravated if this is something normal.

Thanks in advance.

They might try to remove the filling and re-do it, but if that does not
work, the choice is often RCT. The dentist should be able to test the pulp
of this tooth be certain.
