I had two teeth ground down numbers 2 and 4 in preperation for a bridge which last friday. In any case, my mouth is killing me and the pain has now radiated to my lower teeth. I have been taking tylenol or motrin during the day and tylenol pm at night. today the pain in the lower is fairly bad and I don't feel as much pain in the upper where the work was done. I have had dental pain in the past...but this is the longest it has lasted. I notice as I get older the pain lasts longer each time. even cleanings hurt!

Tooth ache is a very bad experience, it should not come to even our enemies. It is better for you to consult your doctor who will give you a better advice.

I recommend calling your dentist to make sure you haven't developed a new problem. This sounds like entirely too much pain to be having almost a week after the fact. And, since it is in a different location, it definitely indicates that your dentist should take a look.

Go ahead and call the dental office and let them know that you are uncomfortable. They'll probably get you in and look around to make sure all is well. Good luck!

advil is the best thing to take for toothaches. Says it right on the bottle
