Three days ago I suddenly suffered toothache. I have my last upper molar filled five years ago, I believe that underneath the filling is a cavity that causes the pain. The second day I was calling around to make an emergency appointment to a dentist because the pain is really bothering me, it comes so bad then it goes away in 30 minutes interval.
Today I got an appointment to a dentist and she recommended me to a specialist to check if I need a root canal since my molar still looks so fine. When I get to the specialist they did another X-ray on my tooth and the findings is the same, underneath the filling is a hallow space that causes the pain. The Dr. did an emergency root canal, the procedure took an hour but I got sick at the last minute. After the procedure I felt so sick and was throwing up that I called in sick from work, I hate to call in sick but this time I have too and that's my first time.
I wish that I will not feel any pain at all after the medication worn off. I start to feel tingling on the treated tooth though.
