What do my teeth hurt from white fillings put in 2 months ago?

I'm in my 30's and 2 months ago had two white filling done. They both replaced existing fillings. For the last 6 weeks everything has been fine but now from time to time (not constant) I start to feel pain in those teeth - the two teeth have also become over-sensitive to cold ... both teeth are about three from the back (inc wisdom teeth). The pain isn't constant though - can be fine for several days and then all of a sudden it starts to hurt and become sensitive. Is it possible there could be some kind of bacteria that got in at the time of seeing the dentist and is inside the tooth now eating away at the inner core of my two teeth? The pain feels deep inside the tooth.





Any suggestions? The dentist was one I saw on holiday in India and used 2 years ago with great success but now I'm back in the UK. The white filling feels different to the white fillings I've had done in the UK. It feels very much like a silver filling - very hard and dense. The gums all look fine, no redness or bleed

I had that happen in 2004, and it turns out that the first dentist drilled very deeply into the cavity and when it was filled it left my tooth hyper-sensitive. I tried to live with it, but then the root became infected and I ended up needing a root canal. My new dentist told me that some cavities are so deep that a root canal should just be done because of the pain factor.
Reply:Oh my gosh, I'm having the same problem. Though I don't know if my filling is 'white', but I had a filling replaced about two weeks ago and last Monday night I started feeling pain. I've been to the dentist twice over this and he has done absolutely nothing. This is the reason I'm on the 'dental' subject, trying to see if people has similar problems. If you find out what the problem is, let me know!
Reply:I had one of those old Silver fillings, it recently cracked and my tooth got infected. This pain went on for months, and the infection spread throughout my body. Took me ages to get the tooth pulled, tons and tons of antibiotics didn't help.





I would suggest having the tooth or teeth pulled.





I found out the hard way that messing around with your teeth is a no-go.





At the very least, wash out with warm salt water from time to time.
Reply:Maybe,the cavity is too deep that's why you're feeling some pain.The problem sometimes of having to replaced an old filling with a new one,when dentists remove it,and drill it inside,we sometimes find out that there's still existing carious lesion(cavity)inside that wasn't removed.One of the reasons why you have been feeling the pain.I am presuming that your dentist have told you about the extent of the cavity and so forth,that you would have to observe the tooth,in case there'd be pain.If it's deep and there's pain,might need a root canal treatment.





Or,another reason,its possible that there's leak on the new filling(very small,that is) that's why you're feeling pain and sensitive.





Or,there might be the tooth may have abrasions near the gum,due to wrong brushing technique causing it to be sensitive.





Sometimes,also,the white fillings are sensitive to teeth to some patients as compared to the silver fillings.Well,this is because it is one of the characteristics of the filling material(the tooth colored fillings/white fillings)





Was it really a white filling that was put onto you?a combination of both white and silver,there is such a thing,though.You should've ask the dentist beforehand,what was it that was placed onto you.





I haven't seen the case,so these are just my insights.
Reply:It may be that the dentist cracked your tooth when he drilled to make room for the filling, He would have known that and didnt tell you, because if he had told you, the only recourse you have is to have the tooth extracted. So he shut up about it, because if the crack was hairline in size, it wouldnt start hurting you immediately, but would await your use of the tooth in chewing to worsen the crack - like cracks do get worse if pressures are put upon them. So you were the victim of dental fraud - a cover up so that the dentist wouldnt get sued. Get his records and x rays and go to a lawyer who specializes in malpractice cases. When you ask the dentist for the x rays and records, tell him you need it for a medical-dental insurance reimbursement. Dont say you are going to another dentist or to an attorney
