My dentist says I have no more cavities, all the fillings are in. When I was eating apple sauce on my left?

Question:

side, the top part of my teeth on the left side feel pain, i don't think there's a cavity, is it possible that I have a wisdom tooth on top that is hurting my left side? I'm not sure if i should go to a walk in emergency visit or not.

Answers:
Although this may be very concerning you can wait to have your dentist address this issue, going to the ER or walk in will cost you a pile of money and a bunch of time and they will tell you to call your dentist tomorrow since they have little to no dental expertise. If you finished having new fillings recently in that area the tooth could be sensitive because the nerve of the tooth was irritated in the process. Also, the dentist might need to adjust your bite. Usually the sensitivity will start out right after the filling and then get better over time.

Hope that helps!

i don't think you need to go to the emergency room. a filling could have fallen out, it could be a wisdom tooth, or you may need a root canal. just get an appointment at your dentist asap.
