The pain is an ache in the teeth. Mostly in the front teeth. I have 6 porcelain crowns on my top front teeth and when I had then prepped I remember it hurt like this but at least that pain responded to ibuprofen.
Does it ever happen where a person's nerves just get irritated and take a long time to settle down? What about atypical odontalgia?
It went from a minor annoyance to bad pain that doesn't respond to ibuprofen or dexamethasone.
My doctor wants me to try a tricyclic antidepressant for the pain since they are useful for nerve pain.
Have you ever heard of this and if so, can it get better?
