Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2006Fillings Hurt' help
I had two filling's one july 20th and one on aug1st, when I am eating with a fork and the fork hit's them on the filling it hurts a lot, I am confused about this and do not know if I should go back to the same dentist, when he was drilling one of them it hurt like he hit a nerve or something, I was thinking the teeth might have been good and did not need a filling maybe thats why it hurt, any help on this would be greatly appreciated >I had two filling's one july 20th and one on aug1st, when I am eating >with a fork and the fork hit's them on the filling it hurts a lot, I am [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >need a filling maybe thats why it hurt, any help on this would be >greatly appreciated As I just mentioned in another thread: "Re: I have always wondered about this, please advise" the fork creates an electrochemical effect. When it toughes the filling, it creates a battery cell which sends electrochemical effects into the filling and to the nerves in the tooth. Use plastic utensils. -- Govt is an insult to human dignity. With or without govt, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes govt. Govt is the root of all evil. I assume the fillings are silver fillings. If they are then galvanic reaction is possible: http://jdr.iadrjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/65/12/1441 http://home.earthlink.net/~berniew1/galv.html There are other articles if you google them. Do the teeth hurt without contact to metal utensils?

The fact that the tooth with the silver filling only hurt when in contact with metal utensil leads me to believe it's galvanic reaction. The tooth is otherwise asymtomatic seem to indicate it's healthy. I will need to have xray to be certain. Bases on the facts that you presented, I don't see any reason not to trust your dentist.

The fillings I had done back in May are black in color, and the last ones the ones that hurt are silver in color, what kind of filling is the black ones? Some composite filling can have color in them. Silver filling will grow dark but over time. Other than that I can't think of any filling that's black. May be the other doctors know...

It's a relatively rare phenomenon that unfortunately can't be avoided or predicted. Mostly happens when an alloy filling is placed right next to a tooth with a gold or other metal crown. Good news is that it won't last forever; once the surface of the filling oxidises it will become inert. I've heard some dentists used silver nitrate to speed up this process, but I haven't ever used it. The pain you felt while the filling was done was probably because you weren't numb enough. It may have felt numb, but sometimes it's not REALLY numb. Regards, George Thank you for all the replies George and everyone, |
