Tooth ache, What should I do?

First of all, I went to the dentist last week which prior I hadn't been in about 6 years. I found out that I had two cavities. I had one filled. He grinded on the other, I thought that he filled the cavity but it is extremely painfull and sensitve five days later. What should I do, if anything?

Well if you can get it. Viscous lidocaine really works. But the old remedy still works, grind up asprin and put it on said tooth.


BUT, go back to your dentist ASAP
Reply:maybe get some mouth numb stuff...are you sure you dont have TMJ...its when u lock ur jaw or you crush you teeth together at night while you sleep and it irritates your mouth and causes damage to your teeth and is VERY painful...(it runs in my family)





but if you think its not that then i would say get another dentist apoinment to a different dentist and see what they say but for the time being get some mouth numb gel.

But until then.. get some anbesol, and apply it to the gums around the sore tooth. And apply it throughout the day.


Also it definately wouldn't hurt to take some Advil or Tylenol.
