Got a cavity filled, and had pain about a week later. Turns out the tooth she drilled/filled cracked, and I needed a crown. I was upset thinking her cavity compromised the tooth and resulted in the crack and crown. Spoke with a dentist friend of mine who made the analogy of a glass breaking in the dishwasher...sometimes it just happens. Last week I had routine cleaning, and she noticed a small chip, said I needed cavity. Got the cavity. She shaved it down as best I could tell. My mouth was very numb and it was hard to tell. She told me if, after numbness wore off, it was bothering me to come back and she would reduce it more. First five days were ok, and now I'm having serious pain when I chew on that side of my mouth. I fear I've got another broken tooth, and will need another crown. I was angry the first time, and If my suspicions are realized, will be furious this time. What should I do?
