7 months ago, i got 3 fillings done on the right side of my lower teeth. I am under the impression that the dentist may have filled the teeth too low as the but feels odd since then.
I have been getting facial pain in the tmj joints along with my headaches. My symtoms have been getting worse and worse with time
I have gone back to my dentist and seen 2 other dentists, and 3 orthodontists to get opinions on what a solution is to my problem
Original dentist: said they cant see a drastic change it but so cant see whats causing the pain
2nd dentist: could not find a problem either
I then saw 3 orthothodontists:
1st ortho: said braces will fix my misaligned bite
2nd: suggested maybe wearing a splint
3rd: suggested seeing a prosthodontist ( i have not seen one yet)
I then saw another dental specialist who specialises in treating tmj problems among other things. He gave a 2 week course of prednisone to reduce inflamation and valium so i dont clench at night
They relieved my pain however i still feel my bite feels off n still getting alot of discomfort in my face with facial pain n tired tmj joints along with headaches.
I have had this chronic problem for 7 months and all these dental professional habe been guessing and each suggesting something different
Hope someone can help me n maybe suggest what may be wrong.
Note: All professionals have used articulating paper to check my bite which they say is fine but to me still feels off to me and isnt how it was before i got the filling n it is what i think is causing the problems
If you can help me plz reply
