Pain After Quadrant Fillings Posted: 10-07-05 10:45am

:( :(
last week, I had a quadrant filling
session and then went back the next day
cause the filling was too high but the
pain/sensivity and throbbing is very bad;
my dentist never explained my choices and
never told me that this could happen;
today they told me I might need a root
canal but I am terrified to end up with
more pain than I already have; I did not
have pain until I did this; is there
help?

This would depend on a few things. Were
these fillings replacement fillings or new
ones? Was there decay present, or were
you just getting silver amalgams replaced
with composite fillings? Did the dentist
tell you when he was doing them that they
were deep, and that you might develop some
sensitivity? Give you any warnings at
all?
Unfortunately, there is no way to know
when a tooth has a nerve that might be
upset the very next time the tooth is
worked on. If your tooth (or teeth) is
(are) getting any better at all, maybe
they have a chance. If not, you might be
headed for a root canal. Just keep in
mind that this can make for much less
pain, not more. Root canals can really be
your friend.
