Dental work done and still pain?

[Enjoilife]

Hi,

About a month ago or so, I went in to get 4 filling done, on the top of my mouth. Now I gues the freezing was not working so I had to get a lot of freezing, so much that it was numb up to my eye basically. He did the filling, lots of pain, the usual. So the next day I had pain, took some tylenol, figured I just had lots of work done so I'll let it heal. So about a week goes by and still MASSIVE amount of pain. I went back, he says it's my bite, because of how much freezing I had done, it was hard to fix my bite properly. OK I get my bite fixed. Pain still, go back a week later or so, and we figured out it was a cavity causing the pain, cuz I had a cavity that needed to be fixed, on the bottom, and when ever I drank anything cold it hurt like nothing else.

So cavity fixed, bite changed.

Now before this about for about a year, I had a filling done on the other side of my mouth. I had the white stuff put it, not the metal filling, the white stuff that makes it look like you had no work done, being a teen that was important to me, haha. Well I had a shock when i bite down on anything crunchy ( cerial, hard candy, gum, tic-tacs ) they said it will go away. A year later I still have the feeling, but what ever.

So I had 4 fillings done, on the top, 1 cavity on the bottom, and still pain, it's been about 2 weeks since the cavity was fixed. Its a weaker pain, and it hurts less, but I'll still wake up about 6a.m. in pain, take a tylenol and go back to sleep. Like for example it hurts right now, it's a continuous pain.

Now I have an overbite, I was told it was from sucking my thumb ( nervious habit I have, I gues ) Well I've basically stopped and it's they said that my top jaw will move back or something and align correctly. But they said since I have an over bite that it puts all the preasure on the sides of my mouth, so my bite has to be bang on. Well I've had my bite corrected 3 times

1. when i had the filling done
2. week later when i went back because the pain was so bad, i needed some type of help
3. when the cavity was fixed

I had my bite also changed on my other side once whe i had the filling on the other side of my mouth a year ago.

Well I still have pain, my mom says mabey it's from clenthing my teeth, and not knowing it, I have noticed now thaty I'm watching to see if I clentch, that I clentch a lot. And it will be at dumb times, like opening a bottle, or playing a game.

So she said watch that, see if it helps. I've watched it for about a week, and i still get pain.

It also is VERY sensitive to cold on the top. I have not determened which tooth, but man it is sensitive.

My question: Do you think i should go back and get my bite fixed? Or wait it out another week/couple days and see if it goes away. And it's only been a month and I had a lot of work done, and it needs to heal.

My worry is that, what if I get to low or something, to the point where when my jaw re-aligns my bite will be all messed up, AGAIN.

Also it feels like my 2 teeth ( http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9687/11094211mo9.jpg < showing in that picture) are kind of keeping my other teeth apart, same with my very back teeth ( molars i think, not wisdom teeth, since my wisdom teeth have not come in yet )


So, what do you dentists think I should do?

Also I've switched to sensodyne-f tooth paste, and it doesn't seem to help a whole lot.

Thanks for reading, look forward to your thoughts.

Seeing an occlusion dentist or tmj specialist is advised.
