For a while now I have been biting my back tooth on the left hand side at the back. I went to the dentist and he said he couldn’t see anything wrong with it. I tried very hard to stop biting down as I hear a clicking noise. Tonight I bit down and I felt a sharp pain. Since then my tooth kind of aches a bit and was sensitive to touch. Should I be worried? I have a fear of the dentist. Will this stop if I leave it alone? Thank you.
Hi Mark, I was just wondering if you could help me? Today I got my silver fillings replaced on the upper top left side of my mouth. The fillings were about 20 years old, and replaced with white fillings.
All the fillings are fine, except one tooth. This tooth is giving me sharp shooting pain, when my tongue brushes over it. If I chew, the pain is so bad that I tear up. It doesn’t matter what I chew, it’s a sharp shooting pain….a banana I had with my lunch made me cry!!
The dentist told me that he put some “insulation” under the new fillings. And my old silver fillings were changing appearance, particularly their colour. He also said they had had cavities under them.Can you tell me why I’m experiencing this pain now?
