Fillings and Root Canal Questions
In April, I had see a new dentist who told me I needed 5 fillings (3 of which were redo fillings due to me grinding my teeth). I got them done. Turned out to be a huge mistake. I immediately started with pain when biting and sensitivity. When I went for a follow up he said give it more time and wear a night guard. I got a second opinion who said the same thing. Then a month later, my right side started having severe pains. The sensitivity never went away on any side. I ended up needing two root canals (1 on the bottom because they thought it was the issue but wasn’t and one on the top that was necrotic and dead). I still have the left side fillings that are super sensitive. The endodontist wants to give that side more time to calm down and didn’t want to evaluate it. I made an appointment in two weeks to follow up on the left side. Can someone tell me that the left side could get better or not? I am terrified of having pain like that again and I had to miss work. Thanks!
