Visited dentist recently as I was getting toothache/ throbbing pain.
Had appointment and further appointment for a filling, scale and polish - £315.
Treatment was a few weeks go now and keep getting intermittent throbbing pains still. Sometimes at site of filling, sometimes in teeth above, sometimes the other side.
How long should it take for things to settle down?
The dentist could not see anything else wrong when I have been and I was showing him one area I had throbbing pain but again could not see any concern but did suggest a hygienist visit as well which I'm yet to book. What will they do at this appointment?
Dentist said book to see him again in 6 months time.
I'm a bit loathed to go back sooner at the cost of more money. Obviously if things get a lot worse then of course I'll go back.
He did say the filling might not take as it was deep and in that case might need root canal/ tooth extraction.
So I guess I'm asking how long should I wait for things to settle or should I get booked in sooner?
I have changed to sensodyne toothpaste just in case it was an issue with sensitivity.
