Suggest Treatment For Lower Jaw Pain

I am 30, am 5'7", weigh 150 lbs. I have severe lower left jaw pain and severe throbbing in a lower left molar. I have been wearing a tap appliance for about 4/5 months. The pain is continuous and aches and throbs constantly. It has been getting worse daily. I had a filling done on the tooth that hurts a little over a month ago. I don't know what is causing the pain or what to do to ease the pain. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like to inform you that as mentioned in your query, you recently got a filling done on your tooth and that what creates a suspicion. Sometimes, filling in your tooth is slightly high than ideally it should be.
Sometimes, people tend to grind down the filling bringing it to the level of other teeth.
In your case, i will advise you to see your dentist and get the filling recheckes for high points. I am sure your dentist will know better.
Until then avoid chewing from that side and take soft diet if possible.
I hope i answered your query.
I wish you good health
Take care .
