Suggest Remedy To Relieve Pain After Having Tooth Filling

I had a couple of fillings done over a week ago and I have been in severe pain ever since. I have gone to the dentist several times and he just tells me to wait a little longer. The pain wakes me up at night and disturbs my regular day. Is there anything that I can do to relieve the pain. The pain is there all the time, when I am eating and when I'm not eating. I can not figure out what tooth is causing the pain whole side of my mouth hurts. Please give some ideas how to relieve pain.

Hi.
Thanks for the query..

If you have got filling in teeth and there in one tooth that you can point out to be causing such a severe pain then it is very much clear that you have got the Pulp exposure in that tooth [Pulp is the central portion of tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels].

Due to it the nerves have got inflamed along with the filling material irritating the nerves continuously leading to severe pain and it is a dental emergency and should be treated at the earliest to relieve the patient..

If your dentist is not cnsidering your problem it is better to consult an ENDODONTIST and get evaluated along with an IOPAR [X RAY]..

In case if the pulp is exposed the filling has to be removed under local anaesthesia followed by ROOT CANAL TREATMENT of the tooth along with antibiotics like amoxicillin and painkiller like Ibuprofen..

Till the treatment is not completed avoid chewing from that side and also avoid hard and extremes of hot and cold foods..

As of now you can take ULTRAM [TRAMADOL] 50 mg three to four times a day..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
Dr.Honey Arora..
