After Drill and fill 3 weeks ago- teeth hurt now?

I had my canine and the tooth behind that on the right side done just over 3 weeks ago- drilled and filled 3 cavities in the canine and 4 in the one behind it (back, front and inside and outer surface)


Now, when I bit down on food or anything, they hurt almost as if the nerve is pissed off. Prior to having them done I had only slight aches now and then in the canine tooth.


2 of the cavities were near the gumline. Is this why they hurt?


He is a great dentist, very popular and great reputation- I don%26#039;t doubt his work, I doubt my teeth. They all have cavities and I almost would rather have them remove all the tops and have a partial put in but the dentist wont do it because he says my teeth are fine and can be saved. What he doesn%26#039;t understand is they hurt from time to time- and even after having them fixed?

Sometimes if the filling is very near a nerve it will irritate it which is the pain sensation. I had a tooth that did that and the dentist went in and took out that filling and put a layer of a different material (forgot what it was called) and it didn%26#039;t hurt anylonger. definately call him and let him know whats going on so they can fix it!
Reply:Something similar happened to my husband. Our dentist is also a great dentist. But no matter what she (the dentist) is also a human being. Human beings make mistake. So when it happened to my husband he went back to the dentist. The dentist took a look at the tooth and fix it. The pain goes away. It should not hurt 3 weeks after. It means there is something wrong with it. If your great dentist can%26#039;t figure out then try to go to a different dentist for a second opinion. Good luck!
Reply:It is common to have sensitive nerves, but if your in excrutiating pain call your dentist
