I had a sharp shooting pain in a molar with some sensitivity what would be the reason

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
Q.
Hi I would really appreciate your help. This afternoon I was having a cold drink when I experienced a sharp shooting pain in a molar I had filled a few months ago. I also experienced some sensitivity in another filled molar but not to the same extent. All this was accompained by a general ache in my teeth. This morning I had no pain and drank cold drinks with no problem, do you have any idea why the pain suddenly came on just a few hours later? I chewed a lot of gum today which I haven’t done for a year or so. Could I have chipped the filling? I checked in the mirror and there doesn’t appear to be any holes but maybe I missed them? I don’t really have the time or money to go to the dentist this week but I am desperate to sort this problem as it is my birthday this weekend. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

I have a fractured root canal and is if there any side effects of having the tooth extracted

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
Q.
I had a root canal on my right back molar. The root canal unfortunately fractured before the crown was put in place and I needed to have the tooth extracted. My dentist is giving me the option of an implant. When I smile the extraction can not be noticed. I don’t mind the space for chewing. My quesion is if there are other effects of having the tooth extracted (will the spacing of my other teeth change, will the top back molars descend if there isn’t a tooth to chew with on the bottem jaw). I would appreciate any advice that you might have.

The teeth adjacent to the gap … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
