Going to DDS tomorrow and scared to death. I just want to know.... can a cavity give a faint, dull ach that lingers shortly... then stops the pulsing feeling and then there is just this odd dull ache? Not torturesome... just annoying. Not sensitive to hot, or cold, or tap or chewing. Just the worst after brushing and cold cereal. I can sleep at night, do everything I've been doing... but it's always there... that dull ache that concerns me. xrays from a year ago show a tiny cavity... dds is taking new ones tomorrow. The tooth has a filling in it now with a tiny piece missing. What could all this mean? Any professional advice... or simular situations out there? Thank you.
Tooth Ache Question.... please help.?
Your dentist will see what's going on when he takes the new xrays.
It sounds to me like the missing part of the filling has exposed some of the dentin (layer of tooth structure under the enamel) which would be much more sensitive.
Just a guess - I'd expect to get that filling replaced, and the tooth should calm down after a little while,
Reply:It could mean that since some of your filling is missing your tooth is exposed to the elements, and there is no enamal covering your tooth so it is sensitive to these things. OR on the other spectrum it could be dead root in the tooth. But they are ususally more painful, unless your just catching it early.
Reply:well when ihad a cavity thats exactly what it felt like but i let it sit for awhile and the pain became excruciating and i had to leave school for awhile to go home i felt a 100 perent better when i went to my dentist i got a root canal it was that bad
