It is called Galvanic shocks. If you have a gray filling, which contains some metal, it can cause a shock when you put another piece of metal on it. This doesn't happen when you have white fillings.

Another possibility is that you filling is due to be changed. The best thing would be to see your dentist to check it.

Does the needle hurt when you get a tooth pulled?

I had a tooth that had a cavity under a filling that was in the tooth for MANY years. The tooth finally cracked and the back corner fell off. It did not hurt but, I knew it had to be removed. The only thing that hurt was the little pinch from the needle of the novocaine. No worries.


What do you do for an abcessed tooth?

By far the best thing is to go to a dentist. Abscessed teeth can lead to a more serious condition, not to mention hurt a lot. The dentist will open the tooth and pack it with antiseptics and probably put in a temporary filling.


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.

Is it okay to drink through straw with toothache?

When you take a gulp of something, the liquid touches all/most of your teeth; when you drink through a straw, the liquid touches less teeth. If you drink through a straw you use more muscles in your mouth and cheeks/ shift your jaw more which may irritate your tooth. However, if it is a cavity, and you must drink liquids that are not good for your teeth, then using a straw could be beneficial if you place the straw in a position that allows the liquid to be consumed without touching the hurting tooth. On the other hand, if the liquid always touches the same teeth/hurt tooth it could speed up the deterioration of the tooth.

Does it hurt when you have a filling in your baby tooth?

It can. All baby or adult teeth, have a pulp or 'nerve' in them which is where the sensitivity comes from. That's why it's very important to brush baby teeth just as well as adults brush there permanent teeth. Baby teeth have long 'kid' size roots on them, but as adult teeth start to grow and form underneath the gum, that long root' feeds' (reabsorbs) into the bud of the adult tooth. If the filling is a small filling, you may not feel a thing.
