Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Jaw Due To Misalignment Of Teeth
On Wednesday I went in to my dentist for a simple teeth cleaning. He talked me into getting some of my teeth sealed to prevent cavities. Well after getting my teeth sealed, my teeth did not line up correctly and it was causing me a lot of pain in my jaw. I went back to the dentist yesterday morning and he ground some of the sealer off, but all last night and this morning my jaw is still killing my and now my dentist won't be back in the office until Tuesday. I took prescription strength Ibuprofen and it didn't phase the pain. What do I do? Is there any way to remove the sealer?
The symptoms you have mentioned are suggestive of over filling of sealants. The best method to relieve pain is to take analgesics and grind the sealant so that normal occlusion can be achieved. I have my reservations about removing the sealant by you, as it is usually light cured and difficult to remove.
