I had a bridge done, while I had a temporary I had no problems with pain. Since the day I had the permanent bridge put on I have pain, head ache, ear ache as soon as I have cold or hot foods. When the dentist was placing the permanent I never had anesthesia can this be trauma related? if so, is the dentit responsible for paying any additional treatment I maight need since it was negigence? I’ve been taking Ibiprofen 800 mil 3x a day today is my 3rd day & I don’t feel any better. Do I need a root canal? please advise, Thank you.

Q.
On my top jaw my teeth between my canines have become black and smaller,due to a lack of dental hygene.Now I am starting to be more hygenic,but I fear that if I see a dentist he/she will want to simply remove the black ones.They don’t cause me any pain,just look quite horrible,so is removal the only option when teeth have become so black?I assume they are rotten,but obviously don’t know for certain.Any suggestions please.,
