Q. Hello I need some advise. I had 2 deep fillings done on back teeth RH bottom side of mouth last Dec. Since then I have nerve pain from one tooth and tingling in lower lip chin and face on that side. Been back to dentist who says nothing wrong with teeth. Went back again, he said he could drill out again or do root canal, although not needed ,or take tooth out. I opted for tooth extraction because I couldn’t stand anymore drilling on nerve. The 2nd injection he gave me when doing the 2nd filling hit the nerve and I had electric shock feeling through face. Is is possible that nerve pain and tingling is due to temporary nerve damage? I still haven’t had tooth out because worried about anymore trauma to nerve. I am off to America in 2 weeks for holiday but don’t want to go away not being able to eat/drink properly. Pain/sensations are there all day but go away at night. Should I opt for tooth out or give it more time to see if it all settles down,?Dentist is hesitant to remove tooth now – too close to holiday. Please help. Have lost a lot of weight due to anxiety. Thanks,
