Hello
Welcome to HCM
I would like to tell that you are having irreversible pulpitis in which pulp is involved.
You will not be relieved by filling rather you need to go for Root Canal Treatment followed by capping.
For further treatment you need to go for proper clinical as well as radiological diagnosis.
Consult with your dentist & start with medicines as prescribed by your dentist.
Take Care
Regards
Dr.Neha

hi and welcome to HCM,
Pain and discomfort in a restored tooth indicates presence of infection hat may spread to the surrounding periondontal tissue via root apex .
you need to get an x ray done for your tooth which will show the extent of infection and the tissues involved.
accordingly filling is replaced and root canal procedure is done which will remove the infected nerve ,cleaning and shaping of the canals is done is the root apex is sealed.
This procedure devitalises the tooth and sets it pain free permanently and visit a dentist and get it done.
Meantime you can have analgesics for pain relief.
take care.

dear friend ,
thanx for sharing your concern,
your lower right molar is infected and has got deep caries.
your pulp is exposed to noxious stimuli , could be restorative material. further pulp has got infected .
your tooth can be treated by doing a pulp capping procedure or if required root canal treatment .
an xray is required here to decide on this,
meanwhile you can take tab combiflam 500mg twice daily for three days .
hope it helps.
take care thanx.
