Why Is The Cavity Filled Tooth Causing Pain From The Temple To The Chin?
I had a deep cavity filled about 31/2 months ago its my top molar in the very back on the left side. I went back to the Dentist and had an x ray with no sign of infection. He said I probably have nerve damage but its just killing me the pain go's all the way up into my temple and down into my chin. Any advise?
Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. Actually sometimes the infection is in initial phase which does not show on an x - ray. If the pain is so severe it proves that the infection has spread to the apical region and because of filling a pressure is getting developed which is causing this problem. Better you should go for a root canal treatment in the tooth as this will drain the infection and pain will be relieved. Thank you Hope it will help you.
