If you've ever had a filling...?!


Question: If you've ever had a filling....?
Did you have pain afterwards, like for six weeks after.? Does this mean I need a root canal.? It hurts when I eat or drink something cold or hot. What happens if I don't get the root canal.? I've already had the fillings. Thanks in advance :)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Depends on what kind it is. But, yeah, I had one that hurt for a while, then it stopped. When the tooth is drilled it experiences trauma to the nerves of the tooth. This takes time to heal, especially if it was a big cavity. If it doesn't go away in the next few weeks, go get it looked at, could be cracked from the drilling trauma (hope not). Good luck.

I have about 9 fillings 4 done 2 years ago and 5 done many years before that and I still get quite a bit of pain from anything hot, cold, even pressure. My dentist told me that the only way to stop the pain was to get a root canal. I am looking into getting prosthetic teeth now though.Health Question & Answer
