for the past month or so my third molar on the bottom right side of my mouth has been very sore. it started off with food getting stuck in the gap between my 2nd and 3rd molar. I didn't think much of it at first, but then a week or so later it started hurting really badly below the gum line.
I went to my dentist last week and after explaining to him what was wrong, he took X-Rays and looked at it. He told me a piece of my tooth chipped off, so he put a temporary filling on the tooth until my next scheduled appointment...he told me that if the temporary filling helped then it would be fine...but the thing is im still having the same problem. food is still getting lodged in the tooth and causing pain, and the pain under the gum is just getting worse. Does anyone know what this could be?
