Anyone shed light on this for me? Im getting shooting pains in one of my back (middle-ish) teeth.
About 3 weeks ago, just before I gave birth to my daughter, I had my teeth cleaned by a hygenist for the first time. I can recall it being painful.
Then about 2 weeks ago, I started to get pains (manageable) in this tooth. Last week I went for a filling and enquired about the tooth but the dentist said that the xrays showed all clear. He went on to drill a nearby tooth, and then when I got home I started to get shooting pains in my tooth (not the treated tooth)
Had pains all weekend and went back yesterday was told there was nothing they could do (they did another xray) and I could be referred to a facial pain clinic which could take 3 months!
The pain is like a raw nerve pain, like a series of electric shocks. Sometimes triggered by eating but sometimes just for no reason.
any ideas? Or what I can do/Use?
thankyou
