August 10, 2003 - Marian I posted here last on Tuesday, August 5, 2003. Update on my galvanic shock episode: I went back to the Dentist that following Thursday afternoon and had the filling removed and had a non-metallic filling put back in. I am now pain free. The gauze that Nichole suggested and the egg yoke did not work.
August 05, 2003 - Marian Today, Aug. 5, 2003 I went to the Dentist to have an old filling removed and a new one put in and part of that tooth had already broken off. (I'm 62 year old female) The Dentist put in a new filling and after I got home I started to have sharp shooting pains in my head. I called the Dentist and they told me to wait about two hours and if I was still having pain to call back, which I did. The Dentist told me that it was like having batteries in my mouth with two separate metals with an electrical charge and as silly as it may sound, he told me to put egg yoke on the tooth. Which I did! (At this point, I would have tried anything). He said this would make the new metal corrosive. I then called my daughter in Virginia, who is a dental assistant and she said it was galvanic shock. I was not told that or that it would last up to 24 hours and go away. I will try the gauze that Nichole suggested and hopefully I will get some relief. This is very painful!
June 27, 2003 - Denise I have been experiencing galvanic shock. I had a filling put in today and when that tooth and the tooth above (which has a silver crown) touch it is very painful. It can be just a small touch and it is very painful. It is almost like putting foil to your tooth except 10 times worse. They say it should go away with in 24 hours. I hope so. Like the other person who left a comment I also put gauze on my tooth and that is the only thing that is keeping me from severe pain.
March 12, 2003 - Nichole I recently experienced galvanic shock after my dentist filled a cavity on the upper right side of my mouth. I described my pain as a feeling of someone having a magnet pulling at my tooth, causing sharp pain throughout that area. In addition, I suffered from a headache on the right side. I went back to the dentist that same day and asked him what could possibly be causing the pain. He told me that it was galvanic shock and that nothing could be done about it. He also said that it would go away in 24 hours. The pain was so unbearable. After the explanation was given, I decided to put gauze over the lower tooth that had previously been filled. Suprisingly enough, it worked. I recommend a method that dentist should practice after filling a cavity - tell the patient to put gauze or some sort of mouth piece over the tooth for at least 24 hours. Even though the pain has seized, is there any adverse effects due to the galvanic shock?
April 5, 1997 - Marny I would appreciate any information on the damage done to dental pulp by a galvanic shock involving amalgam fillings.
