Can Nerve Damage During The Refilling Causes Pain Near A Particular Tooth??
I have pain concentrated near one tooth on the back left side. There is no swelling or redness. I do have a filling there. Also, the pain is in the surrounding area of the gums too. My wisdom teeth are out. I use to have a mercury filling where my tooth is in the back, but switched it out because mercury isn't safe. Could nerve damage have resulted when they switched out the filling?

thanks for your query, the pain could be because of the pulpal involvement causing pulpitis or because of the improper base given below the restoration or there can be high points which might be causing pain or overhanging restoration that may result in pain in the gums.consult your dentist and get it checked and correct these things if it is confirmed...i hope my answer will help you..take care
