air gap between filling and tooth gargle with warm salt water on that side 3-4 times a day for a couple of days and see if it helps also you can let a dried fig melt over it to keep the air of also a dry teabag on top of your tooth will pull out any infection |

Go make an appointment with your dentist because it could be something really severe. |

I would definitely call a dentists office. Some offices can give some advice over the phone.
"See your dentist as soon as possible if:
-You have a toothache that lasts longer than 1 or 2 days
-Your toothache is severe
-You have a fever, earache, or pain upon opening your mouth wide
Proper identification and treatment of dental infections is important to prevent its spread to other parts of the face and skull and possibly even to the bloodstream.
How Can Toothaches Be Prevented?
Since most toothaches are the result of tooth decay, following good oral hygiene practices can prevent toothaches. Good oral hygiene practices consist of brushing regularly with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, flossing once daily, and seeing your dentist twice a year for professional cleaning. In addition to these practices, eat foods low in sugar and ask your dentist about sealants and fluoride applications." |

I was at the dentist today, we talked about this a little bit. You may have some decay under the filling. You could need a root canal. If you're sensitive to both hot and cold then you'll definitely want to see the dentist. Actually you'll want to see them either way, but make it more of a priority with hot and cold both bothering you.
At least that's what I heard. |

Sounds like you need a root canal.
When a cavity becomes very deep, it exposes the root of the nerve in the tooth to bacteria, That bacteria makes the nerve extra sensitive to cold and hot sensations. Root canals are no more painful than having a filling filled, however, are considerably more expensive, ($900 where I live) |

Its a sign that the filling is not working and the tooth is still decaying. My dentist who recently did my 2 fillings told me that she was worried they wouldn't work because the amount of decay was so advanced. And if I felt any more pain, I was to come back to have a root canal which is to remove the nerve inside the tooth. Sounds like you have the same problem. |

The filling is coming off or you have a cavity around it. try using a salt water rinse or using a numbing gel. maybe use Crest sensitivity toothpaste. good luck! |

i would see a dentist if it is getting worse, teeth can be sensitive day to day but if it gets worse and is really bad then i would go see a dentist, your filling could have come loose or there might be some more decay there. either way the longer you let it go the more it wil probably end up costing you in the end. |

I went through this same experience about two weeks ago and it turned out that the tooth had a slight crack in it because of the existing large filling.
You should go to the dentist right away to get it checked out. In this way, if it is something more serious, they can catch it early.
Good luck. |

I recently had the same problem and mine turned out to be nerve damage and I actually needed a root canal to fix my problem. I am actually getting my crown next Wednesday. Try some Orabase (made by Colgate) to relieve some of the pain but if it persists I would visit my dentist. Good luck and hope it's nothing too serious. |

Make shure you ask your dentist. It might be infected. Or you got another cavity. Also make sure you floss every night and brush your teeth 2-3 times daily. |
