I have been to the dentist about 4 weeks ago and he had to replace a loose filling & gave me anitbiotics and ever since then I have had a niggling pain (occasionally) on the right side of my mouth, then last Monday, Tues, Wed I had a nawing pain whicChatDoctore on at tea time so took painkillers and it disappeared. On two consecutive nights at the weekend I woke during the night with a nawing pain on the right hand side of my face, lips , gums, tongue and jaw (took some painkillers but took ages to settle so that I could sleep). Made appt at dentist yesterday and he took an x-ray but could not see any problems so gave me more antibiotics to take and I have another appt with him on Friday afternoon. The right hand side of my face flared up again tonight with the same symptoms as the weekend!!
HELLO AND WELCOME, The decay in your filled teeth has affected pulp and periapical region, which results in pain sensation. The filling has to be removed to extirpate the infected pulp underlying. Antibiotics and analgesics will relieve pain temporarily. If periapical area is infected, root canal treatment has to be done. I would suggest you to get the treatment soon by a dentist. You can go for a second opinion too. Hope this helps.
