Hello, My twenty year old son had two cavities filled two weeks ago and is suffering with severe pain along the jaw and gum area.  He has gone back to the dentist twice the first time the adjusted the bite and the the second time they said it was possibly his wisdom teeth causing the pain.  The pain is getting worse and we went this morning and they xrayed the teeth that were filled and they appeared fine but the dentist suggested replacing the fillings with medicated fillings for two weeks and then refilling them again.  I am not sure what to do.  THey gave him some oral antibiotics and a prescription for Motrin.  We are seeing an oral surgeon tomorrow.  Do you have any advice for me?  Thank you,
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have pain in restored tooth your dentist has replaced your filling and gives you medicated filling I would like to tell you this treatment is said as indirect pulp capping, this is done for capping of pulp If you won't get relief in pain after medicated filling then you have to go for Root canal treatment in tooth.  Consult your dentist and go for investigation IOWA X-ray of tooth and treatment if you won't get relief. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.
