What is wrong with my tooth.?
I had a filling 6 months ago (front tooth)
It has tremendous pain from time to time that last weeks.
My dentist says its because i grind my teeth and tells me to wear my retainer but when i do sometimes it gets worse and some times better. This time its hurting even to touch my cheek. Its not sensitive to hot or cold. just to touch and push on it a constant throbbing pain. im eating ibuprofen and Tylenol regularly to help. I never had any issues before with this tooth till i had this filling and never wore a retainer. I have been to my dentist several times he did do a follow up x-ray he did fix my bite. But it still hurts do i have to live this way forever. I would rather have it removed.
What is REALLY wrong with my tooth!!!! Help Please????

If your mouth is healthy, a hard outer layer of enamel covers your teeth to protect the nerves inside. The enamel can wear away over time. When the middle layer of your tooth is exposed, anything you eat or drink can reach your nerves. You'll feel a couple seconds of pain when something hot or cold hits them. Sweet or acidic foods may bother you, too.
Gum disease also can make your teeth sensitive. Your gums shrink away from your teeth and that exposes the roots. You also can damage your gums if you brush too hard.
A recent cleaning or a new filling may make you sensitive for a few weeks. Many people feel it after whitening treatments. An old filling that's loose or damaged can cause it, too.
Could It Be a Damaged Tooth?

Do what the professionals and doctors say. May your tooth be fixed right now. May your pain be gone.
