Teeth sensitivity. How long will it occurs after fix bridge procedure?

Question

I got my fix bridge 2 days ago and still feel the sensitivity. It is holiday here today and couldn't contact my dentist. How long will I suffer from this sensitivity?

I visited my dentist yesterday and given me prescriptions of antibiotics (Amoxicillin 500) The problem is the pain is deeper now.I just awake now 1:00 midnight because of terrible pain.Need to wait until 10 am for dental check up again.Got headache now and couldn't sleep anymore.

Answer 1

If it's the permanent bridge, try ibuprofen 600 mg every 4-6 hours for 2-3 days. If it still hurts, I suggest that the edges of the bridge may be a bit shorter than they were supposed to be and you need to find out if this can be remedied in any way.

The suggestion for Sensodyne toothpaste (or Crest Sensitivity formula or Colgate Sens. forumula) is good, but if you try that, do not use ANY other toothpaste for 3-4 weeks so you don' tundo the benefit of using it.

Answer 3

ALWAYS KEEP AS MANY TEETH AS POSSIBLE. When i was in dental assistant school this exact question was asked. My teacher said that your tooth being pulled is much cheaper and its done and over with no going back for 1 to 2 more appointments for the other half of the root canal and the crown fitting or anything like that. But think if you got your tooth pulled about the long term effects. Later in life you might not like having a big hole in your mouth where a tooth used to be not to mention that once a tooth is pulled from your jaw you loose your bone mass and density where the tooth was in your jaw bone so you go to get an implant or a flipper. The implant cost double or close to what the crown would have cost you if you got a root canal and the flipper is just one tooth on a denture plate which is more uncomfortable then the painful tooth and your stuck. So to sum it up i would seriously get the root canal now while you can rather than pulling.

Answer 5

It is common to feel sensitivity after your tooth has been prepared for any crown or filling, likely due to the trauma your tooth pulp experience from the drilling. The sensitivity can last a few days to a few months. If the sensitivity gets worse (becomes painful) or keeps lingering on for over a month, I would contact your dentist to evaluate if a root canal is needed.

Answer 6

Dr. Sam`s given you the best answer. but if the sensitivity continues.. u may need to get a rootcanal done. for th time being however. donot take anything cold or hot and no sweets. give the teeth a rest. and see what comes of it... follow Dr. Sam`s instructions

Answer 7

it depends on the severity of the sensitivity. if its just a short quick pang, that's normal, and you need sensodyne. use colgate total twice a day, and afterwards brush with sensodyne and spit it out, but don't rise it out. then go to bed without eating or drinking.

now if you're having loooong deep pains, you need to be seen right away.

Answer 8

Depends on the person and how much of the enamel that was scraped off during the procedure.Try using sensidine toothpaste. It helps seal the teeth.

Answer 9

I would call ur dentist 2morrow..maybe u need a rootcanal on one of the teeth.
