What is this pain all about?!


Question: What is this pain all about.?
I had this weird pain on my teeth 2 weeks ago. It didn't hurt like a cavity or gum inflammation. It hurt more like a sore pain,kind of dull and numb.I couldn't identify if i was hurting on just 1 or multiple teeth.It felt sometimes like the whole left side of my mouth was in pain.
I bought some orajel and applied it in the area. The pain went away.
Then it came back stronger a couple of days ago. Orajel helped but wouldn't go away just with it. I also took some ibuprofen, which made it go away. But then it would come back every so many hours.
I went to the dentist this morning, hoping for an answer. He took X-rays and said the only think he could see was that i needed a filling on my wisdom tooth and a cleaning.
My cleaning is scheduled for next week.I don't think the cleaning would do anything.
But after the filling, now it hurts 10 times worse. I never ever had any type of pain or discomfort after a filling. I just took 2 tylenol 30 min ago and didn't even diminish the pain.
What can I do.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Well, you can always get a second opinion from another dentist but use the x-ray that was just taken. You could also be clenching your teeth at night. Stressed about anything.? This could cause some tooth pain. Are your jaws tense.? also, go back to the dentist and let him know you're still having problems. The new filling may need adjusting.Health Question & Answer

could be sensitivity. Go to your dentist and have them apply a desensitizer to the teeth. You can have this done at your cleaning appt. Sometimes they do this free of charge. also get some sensodine or crest sensitivity toothpaste and use it every day. Health Question & Answer

Could be your sinuses draining. My teeth hurt and that's what my dentist says. I guess it drains right where the roots of the teeth are.Health Question & Answer
