What can i do about jaw and tooth pain after filling?

Speak to ur dentist: The dentist who filled this problematic tooth can tell you if the restoration was deep and if there is a possibility for root canal therapy. It may also be that the filling is a bit high, which can also cause this pain. It should be looked at.

See your dentist: You should see your dentist again and let him/her check the filling for a high spot or nerve being exposed or if the filling was done within 24 hours you could be experiencing slight pain from the anesthetic needle.

Call your dentist: Most fillings don't cause a lot of lingering discomfort; if you're experiencing this, call your dentist to see if you need a simple & painless adjustment (most likely the case), or if you are the exception to the norm. In the second case, you may need additional treatment that your dentist was trying to help you avoid by doing the filling. Good luck :).

See your dentist: If pain lasts only seconds, sensitivity generally does not signal a serious problem. However, if it last longer and getting worse, see your dentist ASAP for a proper re- evaluation and treatment if needed..

Tooth vs TMJ: Tooth pain after filling sometimes seen. Take OTC pain meds. If persists, see dentist. Sometimes when jaw open widely for extended periods of dental treatment - jaw point pain (TMJ). If so, and does not promptly resolve, see Dentist.
