Absolutely: Failure to treat only increases the chances of tooth loss. Call a dentist for an appointment.

My teeth where there are fillings hurt and doctor said that my teeth nerves already damaged. is the only option to pull my teeth out?

Tooth with small silver filling hurts bad like if nerve was exposed. Sudden sharp pains at random times. Mostly at night. Help can't sleep.

Filling is close to nerve. Tooth settled down for about two years and the dentist said if it begins to hurt I'll need to do RCT. Every time I think about that the tooth hurts. Other than that no pain. Is it mind over natter and what to do ?

Every tooth I've had a filling on in the last 2 years hurts so bad I'm having a hard time functioning. Ive gone back many times for eval but told nothing major exists. Getting Trigeminal injections next. Can allergy to filling material cause this?
