I had bad pain in my tooth after i had fillings and my dentist say to take the nerve out ?

Q. I had a filling a few weeks ago in my back right side tooth one tooth from the back. This week I have had extremely bad pain in my tooth then in my jaw and going up to my ear. When I went back to the Dentist he told me to take antibiotics and painkillers and go back on Wednesday as he thinks it is the nerve and he will xray and take the nerve out. Does this sound normal, I am curretly in Italy and wont be back in the UK for a few months he also told me it will cost me 200 euros. Whats your advise?

A. It sounds normal especially if the filling was deep and close to the nerve. If the pain gets worse you may need to go back earlier to see him though
