Suggest treatment for lower jaw pain
Patient: I am 30, am 5'7", weigh 150 lbs.  I have severe lower left jaw pain and severe throbbing in a lower left molar.  I have been wearing a tap appliance for about 4/5 months.  The pain is continuous and aches and throbs constantly.  It has been getting worse daily.  I had a filling done on the tooth that hurts a little over a month ago.  I don't know what is causing the pain or what to do to ease the pain.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  Thank you! Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM forum,I would like to inform you that as mentioned in your query, you recently got a filling done on your tooth and that what creates a suspicion. Sometimes, filling in your tooth is slightly high than ideally it should be.Sometimes, people tend to grind down the filling bringing it to the level of other teeth.In your case, i will advise you to see your dentist and get the filling recheckes for high points. I am sure your dentist will know better.Until then avoid chewing from that side and take soft diet if possible.I hope i answered your query.I wish you good healthTake care .
