What causes pain while chewing from a restored tooth?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My teeth have two black fillings that were placed at the same time. However, the left one has been aching for the past two days, and it hurts when I eat. This causes a permanent headache.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query,
As per your history, it seems to me that you are having apical periodontal damage, either because of the secondary caries or because of the pressure due to hard substance chewing. You need to get an X-ray done as soon as possible to rule out any periapical lesion. In the meantime, I suggest you take medication like Aceclofenac twice daily for five days and, also try to avoid hard foods.
Please follow up for further assistance.
Thank you.
