After years and years of dealing with the pain in my tooth I went to the dentist. I faced my huge fear and went. They did xrays of the side that hurts and looked at it with a camera. She used some cold stuff to check for sensitivity and pain. She thinks I might need a crown, or to have a filling replaced. I opted to replace the filling and go from there. They didnt find any decay or cavity. She thinks it might be a crack or sinus pressure. She just seemed quick to assume it's a crack and want to do a crown. My tooth hurts almost constantly. I dont know what to do. I've never had anything more then a filling. I do have a big filling where the pain is so I hope the filling is just bad. I'm afraid of getting a crown. Anyone had similar experience?

Yes I’ve had similar and replacing my old filling helped immensely. When are you having yours replaced?

Not until Jan 8th. I'm nervous about being stuck in the chair helpless for that long. But the filling has been uncomfortable since I got it
So I'll be happier when its replaced. I hope it's also sinus pressure. I do have some pain under my eye around my temple.
