My pain started as soon as the numbing of my tooth filling started?

Issue
Some people here on yahoo told me I may have pulpitis, which I have now learned is a bacterial infection. Can I just be experiencing the normal pain of a tootache after a filling? It was a deep cavity, they did not hit the nerve, so they put a filling in. I cannot even go to work today, cuz it hurts so bad. Do I call my dentist and ask her to take the tooth out? I won't pay the money for a root canal, I'd rather they just pulled it. I am really at a loss of words and knowledge. I wish you could know how painful it is, not literally, I wish you no harm, to determine what I should do. My ear hurts, my jaw hurts, other teeth on the bottom hurt, my filling was on top. When I drink a glass of water, it really hurts. Can you give me advice where I don't need to have the tooth pulled, please??????

Best Tip

Alot of times it could be the site of injection or also since it was a deep filling your tooth just went through a lot of trauma and you may need a pain killer until it gets better. Also another factor could be that since you were numb when you left you may need to have your filling adjusted. This can cause a tremendous amount of pain. I would definantly call your dentist and explain your pain, you may not need it to be pulled but I would go back in.
