silver filled tooth hurts in contact with metal?!?!
Question: Silver filled tooth hurts in contact with metal?!?
I had 2 leaded teeth with white filling but as she said "i dont like the way it looks silver is better" (yeah crazy woman i know) she took it off and replaced it for silver filling. It was quite a big hole but as my teeth didnt hurt she decided it was best not to devitalize them. Im still mad at her cause she didnt ask my opinnion and i hate the way it looks now even if its not noticeble.
The problem is that the strangest thing happend today, i was eating and suddendly the fork touched one of my silver filled tooth and i had the most intense pain ever and it only lasted for 3 seconds! I dont know what happened because my teeth dont hurt at all while eating but when the fork touched it hurt so much.
Why is that? also when she was putting a metal stuff around one of the teeth it started to hurt for a a little bit too but as she didnt even let me talk she said it was just my gum --'
Why did it hurt? I dont want to try it again to make sure it was the metal because the pain was awful, can it be an alergic reaction to the silver or something? she said silver fillings werent toxic to the nerve >.<
Note: im sorry for the mistakes im not english and its not like we learn these specific terms in classes
Answers:
I know how you feal I have silver filling in my back tooths, but they filled them up back in 1995, 1996 I was little and white filling was expensive, now it has the same price. Sorry with all do respect how stupid that dentist is, cause the silver filling is horrible, and it aint pretty. My teeth hurt to its horrible the feeling when I pose something made out of metal. Why dont you go to the dentist and tell her to change it back to the white filling.

actually your wrong- i worked in a dentist before and silver filling stays LONGER than white color filling, go back to the dentist and tell her your problem!
That's called a galvanic response and happens whenever dissimilar metals contact one another. It is perfectly normal and is nothing to worry about.
