i had a filling done on the lower front tooth 3 weeks ago and the pain is still unbearable. its almost like a nerve in my jaw goes into a spasm at least once every hour and when it happens i cant concentrate. all i can do is hold my cheek lightly and just moan or cry. has anyone ever had tooth pain this bad b4?? my dentist wasnt in today but tomorrow i am going to call him and he is going to pull this tooth out IMMEDIATELY!!! i want the pain gone and if it means pulling the tooth so be it. i am in agonizing horrible pain. im taking motrin 800 2 - 3 times a day and hydrocodone every 4 hours. it STILL hurts. unbelieveable!!

That doesn't sound right...................the dentist may have filled it wrong, put the wrong type of filling in, put a filling in a infected tooth/gum etc...............after 3 weeks the pain should be long gone..................I would go to a different dentist and get a second opinion.................explain the degree of pain, so you can get an appointment right away
