I had an old bridge replaced four months ago. Everything was fine until two months later, I developed pain in my first molar in the bottom right side. The dentist said the tooth needed a root canal treatment and he referred me to an endodontist.
I had the root canal and filling done two weeks ago. After a week, I got pain in my gums below the root canalled tooth. The dentist took x-rays, which showed nothing wrong. He shaved my bite a bit. I still got throbbing pain from the tooth and the gum pain continued.
I also noticed a weird vibrating sound from my new bridge. The dentist gave me night guard because he thought I grind my teeth at night. Since I used the night guard, my jaw has been hurting. I think it is because I hold my mouth in different position with the guard in. I also feel some tightness on the area where the bridge was placed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what can I do with my tooth, gum and jaw pain? I do not know what else to do and where else to go. Please help!!!Thanks!
