A recent dentist visit is still on my mind—mostly because it still doesn’t feel good. Maybe because I don’t have experience with this and I simply don’t know what to expect. Is this normal? Should I worry?
My temporary filling doesn’t sit right; it feels like my entire left side is hurting. It’s not just one tooth—it feels like all five teeth around it are being pushed like there’s constant pressure, and it’s driving me crazy.
I’m honestly worried about how I’ll survive until my next appointment on February 3rd. It’s hard to focus on anything else when the discomfort just doesn’t stop.

Does this kind of feeling with a temporary filling sound familiar to you? How do you cope while waiting for the next step?

That sounds very painful. I wonder if you could call your dentist and explain what is happening. Maybe they can get you back in a little sooner 😦

Thank you for being so concerned! 😊 I’ve already spoken to my dentist, and the appointments are scheduled—it’s just a lot to process right now. But I’m staying focused on getting through it! Also, I might have to go through all this with another tooth… 😦

Dental work can cause pain in other areas due the drilling and getting the area disturbed. Why it doesn’t sit right doesn’t make sense to me. You might give the office a call and see what they say.

That’s a good point—dental work really does affect more than just the tooth itself. I think the nerves being disturbed might be why it feels so off. I’ll keep an eye on it, and if it doesn’t improve, I’ll definitely give the office a call. Thanks for the advice!

I don’t think anyone likes going to the dentist! But you shouldn’t have pain after this long after the appointment… you should check back with your dentist. Take care and feel better.

You’re so right—dentist visits aren’t anyone’s favorite! 😅 The discomfort is definitely lingering more than I’d like, so I’ll follow up if it doesn’t improve soon. Thank you for the kind wishes!

No one enjoys going to the dentist, but you shouldn’t be experiencing pain this ling after your visit. Hang in there and give the office a call Monday or today, if they have an answering service. Stay well, peace.

Honestly, I didn’t mind going to the dentist—it wasn’t too bad! 😊 Until this procedure! But you’re right; the lingering discomfort isn’t great. If it doesn’t settle soon, I’ll definitely check back in with them. Thanks for your concern!
