Depending on weather the pain is in a single tooth or in the entire jaw and face and whether it occurs only while eating or perhaps exaggerates when you sleep at night, the treatment approach may differ.
A dental filling is a procedure where a material is inserted into a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its original shape and function.
Fillings are most commonly used to prevent further damage to a tooth when decay is present. By removing the bacteria and closing the affected area off, no further tooth decay can occur.
How should I care for my teeth with fillings?
To maintain your fillings, you should follow good oral hygiene practices — visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings, brushing with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, and flossing at least once daily.
When decay (caries) invades the deeper nerve tissue (pulp) inside root, it results in root infection. The tooth at this stage is still savable. RCT involves Cleaning and Filling the infected space within the root called the Root Canal. RCT involves 3 basic steps – Access, Cleaning & Shaping, and Filling. Depending on the severity of your condition these steps can done in a Single Visit or may take individual visits.
Removal of decay & creating an opening to the space inside the root (root canal).
Complete cleaning & removing of infected debris inside the root canal.
Filling the root canal with gutta percha and Sealing the access with tooth colored filling.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last permanent teeth to appear (erupt) in the mouth. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people never develop wisdom teeth. For others, wisdom teeth erupt normally — just as their other molars did — and cause no problems.
Many people develop impacted wisdom teeth — teeth that don’t have enough room to erupt into the mouth or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth may erupt only partially or not at all.
Grow at an angle toward the next tooth (second molar)
Grow at an angle toward the back of the mouth
Grow at a right angle to the other teeth, as if the wisdom tooth is "lying down" within the jawbone
Grow straight up or down like other teeth but stay trapped within the jawbone
You'll likely need your impacted wisdom tooth pulled if it results in problems such as:
Most wisdom tooth extractions don’t result in long-term complications. However, removal of impacted wisdom teeth occasionally requires a surgical approach that involves making an incision in the gum tissue and removing bone. Rarely, complications can include:
During wisdom tooth extraction, your dentist or oral surgeon:
A tooth fracture is a break or crack in the hard shell of the tooth. The outer shell of the tooth is called the enamel. It protects the softer inner pulp of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. Depending on the type of fracture, the tooth may not cause any problems or it may cause pain.
shallow cracks that cause no pain and require no treatment
breaks in the chewing surface of the tooth
the tooth cracks from the chewing surface down toward the root of the tooth
cracks begin in the root and move up toward chewing surface
cracks down through the root, separating a section of tooth
Not all tooth fractures cause symptoms. For example, craze lines rarely cause problems.
Other fractures may expose the sensitive pulp to fluid, food, and bacteria in the mouth. It can cause irritation or infection in the pulp. This can lead to:
Vertical root fractures may not be noticed until a bone or gum infection develops.
Teeth cannot heal. The treatment goal is to protect the tooth and the pulp interior.

Orofacial pain is a field of dentistry which deals with the diagnosis and care of nondental pain that presents in the head, face or neck, or inside your mouth. These types of disorders all have unique causes and treatments.
Orofacial pain is associated with a number of conditions. Some of the most common are musculoskeletal disorders like temporomandibular disorders (TMD). TMDs are disorders involving the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), which help control the jaw. They also affect the muscles used to chew and talk, as well as other associated structures.
A form of TMD, known as myofascial pain, presents “referred pain.” This is where pain is felt in a different part of the body than where it’s originating. For example, if your teeth hurt and your dentist did not find a dental cause for your pain, the pain may be “referred” from other muscles in your face or head.
Another facial pain disorder is trigeminal neuralgia. This is where brief, sharp, shooting, electrical and severe pain can be triggered by actions that don’t normally hurt. For example, lightly touching your face, brushing your teeth, talking, chewing or shaving can all trigger pain in trigeminal neuralgia.
Burning mouth syndrome is another facial pain disorder. It involves a burning feeling inside your mouth and, commonly, in the tongue.
Migraine can sometimes resemble pain in the facial area. This means that patients with migraine localized in the face may confuse it for dental or other orofacial pain. In addition, TMD and headache disorders commonly occur together, with migraine being the most common headache disorder for TMD patients. TMD symptoms can amplify migraine and may increase the likelihood of it becoming chronic.
Treatment of Orofacial pain
Guided home care, jaw exercises, medications, acupuncture, ultrasonic pain therapies can be used to manage these orofacial pains.
