Tooth Ache??? Please Help Me????!


Question: Tooth Ache??? Please Help Me????
so i have a small tooth ache so i looked in the mirror and saw a brown hole in my tooth.
i even stuck a safety pin on the tooth and it sticks to it....
i went to the dentist and she said that they were just stains.
i don't know what to do.
maybe i'm just imagining it?
please help me!

Answers:

firstly did she take any radiographs? as decay can go unnoticed if an xray isnt taken.
I wouldnt advise sticking anything into it, if its only staining you can create a cavity.
it maybe sensitivity in which case put sensitivity tooth paste on it like a cream, dont rinse out leave it on over night.
if you grind your teeth this can cause pain, attempt not to grind if u do, if its sore to bite, and the jaws head and neck are sore it might be grinding in which case stopping grinding is the key, u might be able to get a splint to help with this.
Do you have an wisdom teeth? You may have them erupting? and the pain radiating to the other tooth

You can take paracetamol and ibuprofen together if you can take them normally safely
You take paracetamol wait two hours take ibuprofen, 2 hrs back to paracetamol etc
this will keep your analgeasics up but still adhere to the recommended daily dose

if this does reside get back to your dentist explain you have the pain and suggest radiographs if she hasnt already.

dentist



Maybe u should see another denist because if it was just a stain then it wouldn't ache, it could be a cavity but I'm pretty sure she would of said it was a cavity also if have u ever had a filling in that tooth if u have it could be that the filling came out and u better go again before it gets worse. Hope that helps!



all i can think of is a cavity, but if it was that the dentist should have seen that when you went in and it would have hurt really bad if you stuck a safety pin in it. so maybe go see a different dentist!



I agree with emily, get a second opinion.
