Is there anything i can do so that my teeth don't touch after fillings because they hurt?

Yes: Take Ibuprofen exactly as directed on package. Will reduce soreness and relax muscles. Then pick up phone, call your Dentist and let Dentist know you are in pain.

Return to dentist: If the new fillings have made the teeth contact sooner than normal for you, the bite needs to be adjusted on these fillings. Very quick and painless procedure that should give you immediate relief.
