Yesterday I started getting these nasty flashes of pain in a back molar; like an electric shock or when you're getting a filling and the anaesthetic hasn't worked properly and the still hits a nerve...only worse 😩
Started out of nowhere and got worse...I was lucky enough to be able to see my dentist and she took an X-ray but couldn't see anything (tooth has an old silver filling).
She painted on that stuff for sensitive teeth and says just see how it goes...seemed better this morning but have started getting these tingly lightning stabs again this afternoon...treating with ibuprofen and/or cocodamol.
Anyone had this? What could it be if the X-ray doesn't show anything? Very grateful for any help!
It's the pain that you dread getting when you go to the dentist...but I don't know why it's happening and can't make it stop ðŸ˜
