Case Description
I received filling from my current dentist on No.12&13, and felt pain when I chew on them. My dentist said there was some air bubble in No.12 when I revisit his office, so he reopened it, redid the filling, cheked the new X-ray and said everything looked good. Unfortunately, I still feel the pain if I chew on those teeth. It is especially painful during the night. I couldn't fall to sleep without taking a lot pain killer and I even feel the sharp pain from that side of the temple...Any advice is appreciated!!!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
