what might be wrong with my tooth?!


Question: What might be wrong with my tooth?
about 4 years ago i had a teeth filling for 4 of my wisdom teeth everything has been good since then until recently. one of these teeth started to be really painful and some of the filling kind of went away so now i have small hole in this tooth, the tooth is very painful! so what might be the cause of this pain? do i have an infection or is it decay?

Answers:

Why would a dentist fill a wisdom tooth? Geez man, greedy people.. Your mouth is generally too small for the wisdom teeth, so you cant really brush really good back there. If you had a silver filling, then it must have fallen out and wasnt done very well. If its a white filling, theres a good chance you have recurrent decay, which led to a bigger cavity under your filling, which means it got to the nerve, which means its hurting. And that type of decay could result in an infection, youll need an x-ray to be sure, but just get them out. alot easier
