Hey everyone,
So I had a cavity for a few months, quite a deep one, that I left for a while because I was too scared to go to the dentist. It caused an annoying toothache whenever food or drink came into contact with that tooth but it would come and go
Recently I plucked up the courage to go to the dentist and they said I needed a filling, so I went back a week or so later (yesterday), and had the filling which was not at all pleasant and was traumatizing to sit through because it was quite a deep one
Since the anesthetic wore off though I've still had toothache in some degree, sometimes it's REALLY bad and then sometimes it calms down- but even when I wake up it's STILL there and it's DRIVING ME INSANE. Unless it gets better within a few days I'll go to the dentist and just ask them to take it out because it's torture
I bought some clove oil stuff that helped a little but it only provides like 25 minutes of relief before wearing off and tastes awful
My main question is, will the pain subside? Obviously the filling caused some trauma to my tooth because of the drill etc and I've been told that sometimes the nerve can get scratched.. will it ever heal or get better and go away completely? If not I just want my tooth taken out
