On June 21st I had a temporary crown put in. During the procedure I had to had more pain medication because I could feel the drill. What is happening? I’ve tried Aleve, Tylenol and OxyCodone. Nothing is stopping the pain. It’s in the same place. Shooting. Sharp. When I swallow I get the shooting pain up the side of my head and in my ear and in my throat.
