Persistent throbbing pain after teeth filling. On antibiotics for infection. Pain radiating from teeth to gums
Patient: Hi, about three weeks ago i had fillings done on my teeth.  Within a week of this procedure, I began experiencing persistent throbbing pain.  Returned to my dentist and where it was confirmed that I had an infection.  Was put on antibiotics for approximately 8 days.  Everything was back to normal, until a two days ago leading up to last night, I experience the same kind of pain, was unable to sleep.  I'm not sure if the pain is directly related to gum or my fillings as the pain radiates to other teeth and the gum line. Doctor: Hello, Thank you for contacting us for your problem. If filling has been done in the tooth and after that the pain started it means that there is infection in the tooth, which your dentist also confirmed but this infection will not only be relieved by antibiotic, you need to go for a root canal treatment in the tooth. this pain will only be relieved by ROOT canal treatment.
