I need to find a dentist who is skilled at restoring cavities and who is willing to sedate me while I\u2019m getting the work done. Although cavities haven’t been a problem for me in the past, it started after I had my baby in February 2019. Last July, I went to the dentist in severe pain. I had six cavities that the dentist filled at a second appointment. When I returned to the dentist in February of this year, I had two more cavities. One of the two most recent white fillings on a molar tooth is painful when I chew on it. My dentist checked my bite and said it looks good. She offered to remove the filling and replace it. She said that the tooth might have a crack, and she can x-ray it. If it\u2019s cracked, I need root canal treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to wait and do nothing because I don’t understand why I’m having so many problems with my teeth. Meanwhile, the tooth with the possible crack hurts when I floss around it, and it hurts to chew on that side of my mouth. Within the past two weeks, when I\u2019m chewing, I sometimes feel a dull pain in two of the first six fillings that I received. They are molar teeth also. I\u2019ve had some post-partum stress, and this situation is making it worse. I didn\u2019t have dental anxiety before, but I\u2019ve decided that I need to switch dentists and find one who is willing to sedate me to figure out what\u2019s happening with my teeth. I’m not sure if I need a cosmetic dentist, but I would like some advice on finding a dentist who knows if I have more cavities and how to do white fillings correctly.  Thank you.

We understand your concern about your dentist\u2019s technique with composite fillings. You described pain when you chew. When and where you feel pain will help a second-opinion dentist determine what\u2019s causing the problem. Look for a dentist with training in cosmetic and sedation dentistry. Ask friends or family members for a cosmetic dentist\u2014not a general dentist. If you don’t get any recommendations, search online, and read each dentist’s bio to determine if they have post-graduate training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Resolve Pain After Getting Composite Fillings on Back Teeth<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Pain when chewing, not clenching<\/strong> \u2013 Usually, pain while chewing results form improperly bonding the filling to your tooth. A cosmetic dentist with advanced training in composite fillings<\/a> will remove the filling and replace it using proper bonding techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composite fillings on front vs. back teeth<\/strong> \u2013 Some dentists who place composite fillings don’t have advanced training in the technique. They rely on what they learned in dental school for placing composite fillings on front teeth. But the method for back teeth is not the same. It\u2019s essential to find a dentist who has training in composite filling techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
