The pain is a throbbing sensation on my jaw and sometimes my head as well. it even wakes me up at night and i have been taking motrin 800 mg, the pain is not even on the teeth that were filled, its actually pain on my lower mouth. Im very worried and i told my dentist, but she says itll go away. I need a second opinion here. HELP!

having 6 fillings done in one visit is alot for your mouth at one time. your probably getting referred pain thats lingering down to your lower teeth if these fills were done on your back molars. You need to go back there and have Doc recheck your bite. Even If your bite feels right to you, that doesn't matter because even a micro amount too high and it can cause you to bruise the periodontal ligaments (the fibers that hold your tooth to the bone) get it checked out soon or you'll be in some serious pain tomorrow. Also do you know if you grind or clinch your teeth at night? This can make your jaw hurt in the morning and wake you sometimes at night like you say. If you do then maybe consider getting a soft-hard night guard. (these are hard on the outside but soft on the inside) I've got one myself and there really nice.. And please next time don't get so many fills done at one time, this will make it easier for you to pin-point which tooth is bothering you. lots of luck hope this helps

That's a lot of fillings to be done at once. Your mouth went through a bit of trauma, and it will take a while to settle down.
You can sometimes have "deferred pain," where it seems like the pain is elsewhere. Ask your dentist if you can increase your dosage of motrin, or ask her for a stronger prescription.

Well I'm guessing that your dentist is assuming the pain is coming because of having your mouth open for 6 fillings. My thought is that if it's more than 2 days worth of pain, I'd find another dentist and ask them.

I heard that one earlier than. An MRI best suggests the mind wave recreation of the mind phase it does not truthfully exhibit how the mind thinks or does matters. Although proposal does come from the mind and nueral impluses the technological know-how of it's confined. The ideas come from the mind and that's proper, however nobody can detect the ones ideas being created and manifested within the mind. An MRI can not exhibit that. It can quite often best exhibit the subject energetic in a mind even as doing an recreation or considering some thing. I believe the colour suggests Red or Blue.

Pain can last up to 2-3 months for fillings. If the fillings are throbbing pain, and you can't sleep ( thats the best excuse), ask your doctor for a narcotic pain killer such as Vicoden or Percocet.
