toothache from my fillings?
I got a filling re-done (18) about a month ago, and had the permanent filling done on a root canal (30) about two weeks ago along with a filling (3). For both fillings, I had no pain or sensitivity at all up until 5 days ago.
I started having a dull ache radiating from both fillings to my jaw (and to my ear on the side of the regular filling). It now hurts a little to eat, but is still very bearable, and I feel like tooth #3 is sensitive as well. My dentist took x-rays today and said that everything appeared to be fine, and it may be my wisdom teeth bothering me, but I really feel like the pain is coming from the filled teeth and in the case of my right side, it is not adjacent to my wisdom tooth.
Is my dentist missing something/ should I go to another dentist for a second opinion? Do wisdom teeth typically cause pain simultaneously on both sides?

Fillings can also be sensitive after having them done. Especially ones where a white filling material is used due to the bonding materials used during treatment.
