pain after filling

Nanazolie

Hi

I have had some issues with a wisdom tooth for months. At first, it hurt when chewing and the dentist in the emergency clinic couldn't see anything, suggested it could be a cracked tooth and removed the filling to put a temporary dressing + filling in the hope it might settle. It did, so my usual dentist redid the filling. Then it started hurting again. She removed again the filling, put a temporary one. The pain eventually settled. She redid the filling last week. When she drilled the temporary filling, I felt some sharp pain and she gave me an extra shot of anaesthetic. When my feelings came back, I could feel no pain. Great.
Only, it started again 4 days later. It started when I brushed my teeth with an electric toothbrush, I could feel some pain when going around that tooth. And today, I can feel the pain (not bad) coming back, altough I can chew on the tooth, no issue. If I tap gently on the tooth with a pen, I can feel the same sharp pain (which doesn't last)

My dentist has assured me that the filling was not close at all to the nerve. So what can cause this? I don't want to rush back to her but at the same time I'm afraid it will get worse over the long weekend

Thanks

You can lower your risk of tooth pain following filling a cavity by steering clear of typical sensitive teeth activates, such as very hot or cold foods. Additionally, toothpaste created for sensitive teeth can assist reduce the potential sensitivity and tooth pain after filling a cavity.
