This happened to me. I had recently moved, so I went to a new dentist in my new town and they messed up a filling. I went back and they filed it down some more. It kept hurting, so they filed it down more. It still kept hurting then they said there was nothing else they could do and left it at that. They said it could take up to a month to get better! </p> <p>Well a month later I could still not even put the lightest pressure on my tooth. I called my dentist back in my hometown and drove and hour and a half back home to get it looked at. I needed a root canal and a crown to fix it. Turns out the new dentist cracked my whole tooth when doing the filling!! </p> <p>I ended up filing a claim against the new dentist through my insurance so that I didn't have to pay anything for the work they had done. The insurance also covered my whole root canal too. I had to pay about $200 on the crown because my insurance maxed out. Luckily, I have a high dental insurance ($4,000). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-724020 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:57:43 +0000 LaineysMom 724020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I would demand they fix it.. If not go somewhere else. There was no way I could deal with the pain for another week. It hurt so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-724003 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:11:30 +0000 Bao 724003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: someone told me this is what they thought it was, I'm upset they didn't try and help me. Maybe I need a new dentist or need to demand they fix it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-724001 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:07:58 +0000 LaineysMom 724001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: this happened to me before.. I went to a new dentist and he told me the other guy didn't file it down correctly so whenever I chewed the filling would hit a nerve. The new dentist filed it down in less than 5 minutes and all the pain went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-723999 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:02:16 +0000 Bao 723999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: they said it was nothing and it would go away...what?! So I figured I'd wait a week and see how it goes. It still hurts when I bite certain things though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-723974 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:05:39 +0000 singingbee 723974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: what did it end up being? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-701116 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 03:23:14 +0000 Bao 701116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: ahhhh no! That's scary....I hope that's not it. Considering this is my first ever filling that would not be a good first experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-701086 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 01:14:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 701086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to be the bearer of potentially bad news, but that sounds like what happened with one of mine. It kept hurting, not an ache but a sharp pain, and I thought they just screwed something up because I had used a new dentist. Turns out, I had to have a root canal to fix it. I really, really hope yours is just some residual ache, but I would definitely go back and get it checked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700894 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:00:02 +0000 Bao 700894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: that's weird that the weather does that lol, interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700891 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:59:04 +0000 singingbee 700891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: me too!!!! I thought my root canal failed, but I realized that it only bothers me (and by bother, it just makes me aware of it-no pain) when it's cloudy and low pressure outside. So, now I try to freak out about it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700885 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:55:41 +0000 Bao 700885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: Well I'm glad you could help me out, I will update with what it ends up being, now I'm curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700882 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:54:33 +0000 singingbee 700882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: if there is something I know, it's teeth problems. :) sadly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700879 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:53:21 +0000 Bao 700879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: Haha no, but hey I kind of thought it wasn't normal for it to be hurting. Thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700877 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:52:33 +0000 singingbee 700877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: yes. I would. Maybe something got stuck in there. I know it totally wasn't the answer you were looking for. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700860 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:46:48 +0000 Bao 700860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: Darn it. Lol I go Wednesday for a cleaning anyway, I will definitely bring it up then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700854 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:44:54 +0000 singingbee 700854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: yes, that's not normal. Maybe the tooth is cracked? Or something else? I would definitely go and get it checked out ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700851 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:43:58 +0000 Bao 700851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: It's painful...it almost sends a shock through my gums, like I am biting metal, or tinfoil </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700847 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:41:46 +0000 singingbee 700847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find that my fillings ache a little depending on the weather. I have very sensitive teeth and my fillings are usually a medium to large size. Is it painful when you bite on it? Or just different? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-a-filling-still-hurt-2-weeks-later#post-700827 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:36:02 +0000 Bao 700827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my first filling about 2 weeks ago, all was fine and I didn't feel a thing but then about 10 days ago when I would chew, it would feel like I was biting on foil. I'm going to guess this isn't normal, but wanted to ask you guys if you have ever experienced this before. </p>
