What is going on with my teeth?

[LostMyMarblesToday]

Hoping someone has some sort of idea.

Had tooth filled (filling sits where two teeth join-so a little bit on other tooth too).

Pain continued, had filling re done, pain didn't subside. Had filling removed, and temporary put in (whilst trying to work out what's going on), temporary filling in for 2 weeks, and for the the first time in a while I was pain free! Only time I'd feel anything is if brushing too hard at certain angle.

Went back to have temp removed and replaced with filling, in less than 24 hours the pain returned.
I don't understand what's going on? Just to add, not a lot of drilling was done to replace filling and area wasn't numbed.

I will be contacting dentist again, but does anyone have any ideas what and why? I'm wary my dentist isn't enjoying my visits

This has been going on for a while and I just don't think I can deal with this much longer (wondering if extraction is the best way forward).

Perhaps it’s a nerve pain! Possibly you’d need a root canal? Could you go perhaps to a root canal specialist?

not sure what else it could be sorry

Sounds like pulpitus depending on how bad the pain is it may settle down again or may need RCT or extraction.

Had tooth filled (filling sits where two teeth join-so a little bit on other tooth too).

This doesn’t sound right. A filling should never ever touch more than one tooth. The way you’ve written this it’s like you’re saying they’ve done the filling leaving no gap between the filled tooth and the tooth next to it? This is wrong.

Id go to another dentist and get a second opinion.

I would also go to another dentist. At worst you might need a root canal treatment, but it doesn’t sound like your dentist is looking into this properly. Don’t lose the tooth!

Thank you all!
@Onnabugeisha my fault, I worded that incorrectly, there is a gap between the fillings, think I keep thinking it's one as they were done at the same time (with tiny filling in the tooth behind).

I can't quite tell where the pain is coming from, the larger filled one or the other one either now.

I think I will get second opinion, just because this is the fourth filling (counting the temporary one too) and I feel like we're going in circles.

Presumably an X ray was done before the filling so it is known for certain which tooth is the issue?

Whenever I've had immediately noticeable pain from a filling it's been that the bite is wrong and it needs filing down, but obviously that is my own experience.

I know what you mean about dreading going back but ultimately if it still hurts and the issue isn't resolved then that's the dentists lookout and what they're there for so certainly go back or ask for a second opinion/another x ray etc.

Hope you find a resolution OP, dental pain is miserable.
