Traumatised tooth sore to bite

[traumatisedteeth]

Hi, I fell over 7 weeks ago and landed with my top front teeth on the pavement. As a result one top front tooth was removed and I am now waiting to begin the process of getting an implant. My other top front tooth was pushed inwards slightly and my dentist shaved a little of the bottom of it off so I could closed my mouth comfortably. The reason I am posting is that I am confused about my treatment. I cannot use my remaining front tooth because it hurts to bite down on it. It is no longer highly sensitive although the cold wind blowing just now causes a little discomfort. 3 weeks ago I had the electrical test and felt it and I had the cold test and didn't feel it but then two days later I put an ice cube in the tooth and definitely felt that. I don't feel constant pain and there is no swelling, I just feel pain when biting. X rays have shown nothing wrong. Should I be going back to the dentist to ask for more help or is it just a waiting game?.

Getting a dental implant will be a relief to you. Though it will be painful but it's worth it. I got implants done on most of them and it doesn't give any discomfort though initially it did pain a lot but visit to the dentist regularly helped in subsiding with that too.
