Dental issue, please help save my tooth!?!


Question: Dental issue, please help save my tooth!!?
I had two minor cavities a few months back!. One on a top tooth, one on a bottom right below it!. I got them filled!.

THE DAY after the fillings I was DYING of pain!. My awesome dentist took x-rays and said things were fine!. We assumed the drilling aggravated the roots and decided to let things calm down!.

I waited 2 weeks, still dying!.

X-rays still revealed nothing!. Pregnancy could have been issue!? So I waited 3 weeks to give birth!.

Daughter is 1 month old and teeth still hurt!. I got x-rays again last Thursday and STILL nothing!. We switched to a sensitive toothpaste!.

FRIDAY MORNING, day after dentist, I had a sore near my top tooth!. When I chewed the pressure made it BURST and spread to infect 1/2 the roof of my mouth!. I have to see dentist in 1 hr!.

For 2-3 weeks when I floss it feels like I'm going to pull my tooth out!. The pain is causing TREMENDOUS headaches!.

WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PAIN & WHY IS NOTHING SHOWING ON X-RAYS!?!?!?

Any solutions besides root canal or pulling teeth!? Help!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Could be nerve damage from the filings!. Happens a lot especially if the cavity is deep (but maybe not since you said minor cavities)!.
It could also be a gum infection but the dentist should be able to determine that then treat it with antibiotics!.

If you can pinpoint the tooth causing the pain it may require a root canal to squelch the pain and save the tooth!.

Is the pain only occurring when you floss!? How about when you chew!? Does the pain flair up then go away!? If you answered YES to any it will probably require a root canal!.
Sorry but that's the way it usually goes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tooth may have be cracked below the gumline!. talk to dentist about this as it does not always show on x-rays!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
