My teeth hurt, what do you think it is?!
Question:
My teeth hurt, what do you think it is?
My dentist fixed a hole in my tooth about a month ago and said it might hurt a bit since the hole was so deep. Now it hurts a lot, like a sharp pain, when i chew. It's the same with the same tooth on the opposite side of mouth. There was no hole in this tooth when I was at the dentist. What do you think it is? Will it go away?
Answers:
I had a similar problem after having several teeth filled a few years. It turned out the problem was that my filled teeth were "hitting high", as the dentist put it. In plain English, the filled teeth were a bit OVERfilled and when I chewed, those teeth were getting a lot more pressure than the others. He levelled-off the fillings and the pain eventually went away.
