I had a filling done in the top right side of my jaw about a month ago, had some pain, nothing too major but definite discomfort for about two weeks later. Went back to the dentist and he filed it down, said I may have bruised my jaw on the filling that was too high. I'm also a clencher and night grinder, but have never had any sever pain before. The last four days the entire right side of my jaw has been KILLING me. I've nedded to use orajel and aleve every two hours just to function. The pain continues to become more severe and feels like it is expanding to other areas of the right side of my face. I've tried both hot and cold compression and eating soft foods. nothing seemd to work. The pain even worsens when i drink room temperature water. Short of going to the hospital,I'm not sure what to do.
