I am having a similar problem after visiting the dentist a week ago to
replace an old filling. I am having alot of pain when I am eatting, or
if I yawn in my jaw, and ear.
im haveing the same sort of problem my jaw is hurting 8 days after a filling on my top and bottem teeth in the back of my mouth but were my tongue was num it hurts and i have swelling and sore were i was injected with novican 3 time
and it feels like the pain is getting worse
200 mg of motrin won't cut it. I am having the same issue right now, but mine was a crown from a week ago. Dentist thinks it's due to the novacaine injection site. I am taking 600-800 mg of motrin every 6-8 hours. You can have 2400 mg of motrin/ibuprofen in a 24 hr period and it's ok. I hope both of our pain goes away soon, it's getting annoying!!
You should contact the oral surgeon and see if increasing the dosage of motrin is appropriate. I'm surprised the endodontist missed the abscess on #29. Call your oral surgeon for some home care instructions as well. Once the abscess is taken care of, it should feel much better. No antibiotics?
