A member asked:
I went to dentist last week and left there 5 hours after with a bad bite and in terrible pain. should i go back?

Yes: Defiantly you should go back and have the bite corrected. Sometimes after a long procedure with you jaw being tired from being open a long time, and being numb you are not closing normally and so your bite can be off. Bite adjustments are common and easy for the dentist to do.

Your options?: What are your options?How are you feeling now?What do you attribute your problems to?Do you trust your dentist?Why did you choose that dentist & whom would you go to instead?You ask a question for which you would be the best judge as we don't know what you had done, how well it was done & why you had problems. If it were me, i would certainly go back at least to discuss these issues, then decide.
