My filling causing pain What shall I do?
Q. I was told by my dentist I had a leaking filling. He has re-filled but my tooth is lose and I am still in alot of pain. I am unable to eat or drink as the hot or cold causes me pain. What shall I do
A. Hi many thanks for your email, if the tooth in question which was filled is loose then it is safe to say there is bone loss around the tooth and the tooth is infected probably from the bone loss and gum disease around the tooth. my advice will probably consider extraction of the tooth as i think root canal treatment may not work.
