Posting here for traffic I do apologise I'm just in agony.

Went to the dentist Wednesday and I need 2 fillings they cant get me in till Tuesday. I've had a temp filling fitted and the pain eased but each day I'm waking up or throughout the day different teeth are hurting and more sensitive. I've had an xray and theh are healthy besides the 2 that need the fillings. Is it normal for pain to move from tooth to tooth?
I friggin hate the dentist, petrified to be honest and I'm worried she is going to do the fillings and then I'll still be in pain with my other teeth! Hoping its just the nerves or the pain radiation to other teeth!
I really really do not want to be in this pain over xmas, it's the first one my daughter understands and I've put so much thought and effort into it!
Sorry if I've annoyed anyone by posting here just really need some answers! Thank you. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas

Yes it is common for that to happen. After a couple of days of excruciating nerve pain in a tooth I couldn’t tell you if it were in the top jaw or bottom or what tooth it was!
Hoping you get it sorted. Toothache is bloody awful Flowers

In my experience of multiple filings, root canals and years of agony, I find one tooth can cause pain across your whole mouth. My one decayed tooth caused my whole face to swell up. It may be once the dentist fixes your fillings the pain will ease on the rest of the teeth. You could be grinding your teeth in your sleep hence waking up in pain.

I recommend sensitive toothpaste and oraljel. They are both fantastic and really help. Use the sensitive continuously though not just every now and again.

Hope you feel better soon.
