How long does it take for the pain to go away??

Question: I had two teeth ground down numbers 2 and 4 in preperation for a bridge which last friday. In any case, my mouth is killing me and the pain has now radiated to my lower teeth. I have been taking tylenol or motrin during the day and tylenol pm at night. today the pain in the lower is fairly bad and I don't feel as much pain in the upper where the work was done. I have had dental pain in the past.but this is the longest it has lasted. I notice as I get older the pain lasts longer each time. even cleanings hurt!

Answers:
Tooth ache is a very bad experience, it should not come to even our enemies. It is better for you to consult your doctor who will give you a better advice.

I recommend calling your dentist to make sure you haven't developed a new problem. This sounds like entirely too much pain to be having almost a week after the fact. And, since it is in a different location, it definitely indicates that your dentist should take a look.
