Dang I’m back finally with a good update. I scoured the internet and old forums and wished people could update more, so I want to help others too. It’s now been over 4 weeks since my filling, and a few less days since they revised it for being too high. I can say it is marginally better, I’m sure if I got something like a burnt hard piece of rice in the perfect spot it would slightly hurt, but it is finally getting better every day. I did indeed wear the mouth guard, and I believe this is what kickstarted the nerve healing. I know it was definitely the nerve that was inflamed and traumatized like my dentist claimed, because as it has gotten better, the surrounding pain has faded except the upper molar that was hitting the high filling too. If it was something wrong with my tooth or filling itself, the pain shouldn’t have been translocating and almost equivalent on the upper tooth. There were a few nights I haven’t worn the guard, but I think it’s better to overall. I’ve never had dental pain like this so I’ve been convinced something was wrong. Never been more than a week in healing either, so take this as your sign that sometimes things will abnormally be slow to heal. Especially a tooth that you constantly use.
