If you've ever had a filling...?!
Question: If you've ever had a filling!.!.!.!?
Did you have pain afterwards, like for six weeks after!? Does this mean I need a root canal!? It hurts when I eat or drink something cold or hot!. What happens if I don't get the root canal!? I've already had the fillings!. Thanks in advance :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Depends on what kind it is!. But, yeah, I had one that hurt for a while, then it stopped!. When the tooth is drilled it experiences trauma to the nerves of the tooth!. This takes time to heal, especially if it was a big cavity!. If it doesn't go away in the next few weeks, go get it looked at, could be cracked from the drilling trauma (hope not)!. Good luck!.

I have about 9 fillings 4 done 2 years ago and 5 done many years before that and I still get quite a bit of pain from anything hot, cold, even pressure!. My dentist told me that the only way to stop the pain was to get a root canal!. I am looking into getting prosthetic teeth now though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
