if u r a heavy drinker or u used to take some kind of medicines or may be drugs ..all this will effect &decrease your response to local anasthesia...in the other hand may be ur dentist didn't give you enough anas. or didn't inject it exactly where it should be inject.(((all the above reasons are normal and common but not in your case)))...in your case you didn't trust your dentist you were affraid of drilling and injecting a foriegn solution in your mouth tissues ((believe me that the main common cause of what you suffered from)) ...psychological cause very common in the first dental procedure in the life and in some cases it remain with the person all his life .....the other issue ((a bigger cavity)) that's normal cause the dentist have to clean tooth cavity from dead and decayed tooth tissues and food  debris accomulated in the cavity and apart of the healthy tooth tissue to make sure that the decay will not return back eatin the rest of your tooth because any micro  soft caries spot if left will reactivate itself after dressing the permenant filling ........and it's good for you when she didn't filled ur tooth with a permenant metal filling material ...it will be very painfull for you in the first 3-7 days.(((good luck....by the way i'm a dentist)))

Hi,\nYes it is normal to be sore for a few days. Getting that temporary crown off can be a bit of a trip also. It should settle and should be more comfortable soon. Not sure if the post goes into the jawbone. There is a procedure that screws into the jawbone with a cap, but usually I think a crown is a post going up into the root canal. Sleepiness may be just your body reaction to the trauma of the day and telling you to have a rest,\nRegards,\n\nBuzz

You probably have got a cavity. You need to go to your dentist and get a filling.

This is normal... As long as you don't smell funky. If you do, then go to the doctor. You should probably go to the doctor anyway. They can better educate you.

Go see a dentist!!  No one here is a dentist, or at least as I've seen from the responses to your question, and neither am I, but I can tell you that if you are having a problem related to tooth decay, IT WON'T GO AWAY BY WISHING IT AWAY!!! And the longer you wait the longer you'll suffer and the more work the dentist will have to do to fix the problem, and you'll get even more scared, and a bigger bill.  Another possibility here is that you're having sinusitis, or impacted sinuses, and that can hurt like hell and make it feel like your teeth are going to explode out of your mouth.  Go see some medical or dental professional.  This ain't gonna go away by hoping it does.  I know!!  What's that phrase: "Been there; Done that!!!!"  Get a  move on girl!!  You'll be glad you did!  God Bless you.

You're crown may need to be adjusted to your bite a bit more.  Call your dental office and explain to them what's going on.  They may want to check your bite and make sure it's not too tall.  They may also take an x-ray to make sure infection isn't present (root canals are 90% successful).  Good luck

your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

Oh you poor thing!  That same thing happened to me!  The dentist gave me the shot and I felt like I needed to panic, my stomach knotted up and the room felt like it was about 150 degrees.  It was really scary.  The dentist said that it was really rare but if you need surgery again make the dentist go through options with you.  Don't except the "its all in your head" mentality.  I hope this works out for you.  Good Luck!

The above answers seem to have you on the right track.  Just one more tip...change your toothbrush or you may recontaminate yourself.

You may need a denture adjustment...go back to the dentist or denturest that made the dentures...it may take a few adjustments to make them feel %100...good luck

it depends.  if you have darker colored skin this is normal, because of the pigmintation (yes there is pigmintation in the mouth).  has this always been there?  if so, no worries.  but if you're truely concerned, go see your dentist.

Its normal! It may even turn gray. Just be sure to keep it clean by rinsing your mouth every so often.

if you don't think you are healing , then go back to the dentist immediately!! You should not put your tounge any where near the  places you had the teeth pulled from, i know this is hard to do because your tounge automatically will want to go there, it soothes the pain when you do this, about the blackness, i am not sure what that is but i would call the dentist first thing monday morning and inquire about what you see and feel, good luck-get better soon

they'll be uncomfortable for a while cuz you arent used to them. i got mine on at the same time as a oral surgery, so i was in double pain but so drugged up i couldnt really tell for a few days. i only remember discomfort because there were these new things stuck to my teeth, but i dont think it was too bad.\nbut after you get them tightened every few weeks, you'll probably need some advil :)\ndont worry, im sure you'll do fine :)

Assuming that the gums around your other teeth are not bleeding, I would have to say that it is not normal.  Maybe for a day or two, but not for a couple of months.  I would suggest that there may still be a piece of resing cement stuck to your tooth or maybe the crown is "less than perfect" where it meets the gums.  I think you should call your dentist to have this checked out.  Tell him/her that "no place else bleeds and this never used to bleed" and you just wonder what is wrong.  Good luck, though.\n~

it could be ulcerated or even injured from something you ate. if the symptoms remain after a few more days i would advise contacting your dentist and having him look at the area.
