I had a filling placed on the backside of tooth #7 due to a small cavity on Jan 24 and that tooth is still bothering me now, sensations in my front teeth and aches/pains daily and I feel it when I bend over, chew gum, etc... But the pain I feel is on the other side of the tooth when I floss it felt sharp like he filled in the whole bottom part of the tooth that touches the gum. I'm using sensodyne and Gel-Kam. This tooth isn't sensitive to hot or cold but my dentist told me that after a filling is placed the pulp may become bruised, to give it time to calm down or it will need a root canal. It did seem better until today when I got my teeth cleaned and now its worse, the back of the tooth and in between where the tooth was filled does feel wierd to me but I have never had fillings before. What could be causing this pain and discomfort? When you have a root canal on a front tooth does it require a crown? What kind of crown? How much do they cost? I'm already out of benefits for the year
