Background - I had a front that had become discoloured on the edges, and my Dentist said it had decay and he could fill it with a white filling, which he did, but said the filling went very close to the nerve. Anyway about two weeks later the tooth became very sore and my gum became swollen, I went back and the root of the tooth removed and then a tempory filling put in to give the tooth chance to settle down, every thing was fine for two weeks no pain a little discomfort in the gum but I her this is usual. Then tow weeks later I had the permanent filling done, and this is when the problems started from the moments I left the dentist my gum felt strange almost like there was constant pressure on it, I thought this would settle down but did not, so a week later I went back still experiencing pain in the gum, and the was hurting to bite on again, and when you tapped it from the front. The dentist took some more x -rays and look over every thing, said there was no swelling and everything looked good. So I went away rest assured it would settle, but now six months down the line it is no better, and starting to annoy greatly.
I am due to go back to the Dentist in a week or so for my check-up, is it just taking a long time to settle or is there a problem, I also get a small bump in the roof of my mouth that comes up then an hour later it has gone, it this happens maybe two or three time a week, but always the same place and right behind the tooth that has the problem.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
