Tmd in right tmj and right mast. Muscle
Arlier also I had asked question. 4yrd ago I had got filling in my right lower second molar. After that it became sensitive I ignored it. Bt in Oct 23 I hd been to same dentist for this sensitivity. she suggested for refilling so did it. Also she observed there is cavity in adjacent wisdom teeth so got filling in both teeths. After filling severe pain started in both teeths went to her again. But didnt get any soln so changed dentist. She said to get rc done in both teeths. I did the same as I was unaware that wisdom teeth should be removed instead of rc.। For one month it was all ok.। But then from jan 2024 pain started in right lower jaw radiating to ear. Went to the dentist who got rc done she was not ready to listen tht it ws due to faulty rc in wt. She kept on saying it is due to grinding . So again another dr removed wt. But pain persisted. Now again another dentist said it is tmd and advised to wear kois deprogr. wearing it still there is pain. how to get rid of it permanently?

Hi, the filling could have been deep which caused the dentist to do root canal, and then when it was not done properly, Extraction was indicated, but for better analysis of the complete situation, please share your prescription and OPG
