My filling fell out and my hole is getting bigger in my tooth my head is hurting so bad what should i do?
A dentist can put in a new filling.
Is it likely to be more painful to have a filling on your two front teeth than elsewhere?
No, but some areas of the mouth are a bit more painful to have the numbing shot in. It depends on the person and the dentist. YES YES YES YES YES . there are more nerves in the front of your face than in other parts of your face. the shot is much more painful , but drilling should not be felt regardless. It is sometimes harder to hit the proper nerve in the front without causing pain first.
What should you do if you went to the dentist and had three cavities that you needed filled and the dentist drilled the wrong tooth?
Take him to court If the dentist admitted filling the wrong tooth then he shouldn't charge for it and do the other one for free.
Do you have to watch how hard you bite after getting a filling?
If you are still numb, then be careful - you may bite down harder than you realize and hurt yourself or the filling. If you aren't numb, your filling should work as well as a real tooth. If it doesn't, your dentist needs to fix it or you need to find a new dentist.
If a dental filling falls out in two months should you have to pay for it?
You should expect to pay for the filling for the first placement. If you should pay for subsequent fillings on the same tooth depends on why the filling came out. If it was due to trauma, such as getting hit in the face, then yes, you probably ought to pay for the replacement. On the other hand, if it simply broke off, it may have been that the dentist was trying to be too conservative and placed a filling where a crown was really needed. In that case, the doctor ought to credit you the fee for the filling towards the fee for the crown. If you suspect that the dentist is simply incompetent, seek a second opinion or just find a new dentist.
You had a filling in your tooth about 12 days ago your dentist explained that the whole in your tooth was deep but you are still getting a lot of pain from the tooth should this be happening?
Sometimes, if a filling is very deep and close to the nerve, a regular filling may not work. It sounds as though you will need a root canal. Find out more at: Thornhill Dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca
What do you do when a filling falls out?
Enamel is what protects the tooth, when your tooth needs a filling, it is because that enamel is no longer in that area. As you have no enamel where your filling was, it is highly likely that the hole will get bigger. It's much better to get it filled again to prevent further problems.
How will the dentist treat a tooth with a small hole in the front of it?
The whole is most likely from a cavity so they will put a filling in it. Most likely the dentist will get you numb. When you are numb they will drill out any decay and then shape the whole so it will hold a filling properly. If it is a front tooth, you will get a tooth colored filling. If it is a back tooth, you could get a silver filling or a tooth colored filling. That depends on your insurance, the docotor and you. If you have more questions, the dentist should answer any of them before beginning the work.
Can you take Tylenol after getting a filling at the dentist?
Yes you can. You should actually take some before the procedure so that there is no wait for pain relief.
How much should a filling and sealing cost per tooth for a 3-year-old?
My 3.5-year-old daughter is having a filling tomorrow. Her pediatric dentist quoted us $144 for the filling itself and an additional $59 for nitrous oxide (if needed).
What should you do if you have a sore tooth?
If you have a sore tooth from braces or separator's. A good idea is to take 1 or 2 pain reliever's.
Should you get immediate attention if you have a hard painful spot behind the left lobe with swollen gum from compacted wisdom with painful chewing and jaw movement and left ear draining liquid?
YES! Go to your dentist immediately! The dentist will put you on antibiotics and if possible try to drain the abscess. I feel for ya ... ouch! If you can't get into the dentist go to a clinic or go to the hospital. Good luck!
