What should I do? (tooth pain)?!
Question: What should I do.? (tooth pain).?
On the 15th I had two teeth filled. One was done so deep the dentist said it could have been a root canal. Anyway it was ok for a couple of days but today I'm hurting bad. I think it's cause I tried to eat on that side. (hard to eat on the Other since I had a mouler pulled on the Other last month. I'm taking 200mg ibuprofen like he said but it's not doing anything. Should I just lay off anything to eat I have to chew for a few days or call Monday.? Any tips on helping ease pain I will be very thankful for.Health Question & Answer

Well, it could be sensitive because the dentist irritated the pulp and it is swelling and squeezing the nerve. If that is the case, you could buy Kanka at a drug store. It's made for pain relief of canker sores but it will numb everything it touches.
Since you said that your dentist mentioned that it was 'almost' a root canal...that makes me think that some of the decay was possibly left behind and the cavity is growing larger underneath your new filling.
And of course, call your dentist!

Rub aspirin on the tooth. this will help the pain for a little bit. Then I would call the dentist on Monday to see what else you can do for the pain. also try just eating soft food until you talk to your dentist.Health Question & Answer
Use Crest Pro Health Night at night and Crest Pro Health during the day and try to avoid using the tooth for a while. If that doesn't help the pain, it may be that the nerve was exposed and I would contact your dentist!Health Question & Answer

I would take a stronger pain med if you have any available like Vicodin for the pain. Do not chew on that side at all if it is hurting you or it will simply get worse. You need to get to the dentist as soon as you can because the nerve is exposed somehow if it's hurting that bad. Maybe some food got in there when you ate. If you don't have any vicodin then take a couple more pills at least and try some orajel to numb it too. But you really need to get back to the dentist and have him redo it. I feel sorry for the pain you're going thru because I hate tooth pain. If you can stand the pain and go without chewing for a few days, but only if you have to because you don't want it to get infected.Health Question & Answer
