Inflammation: The area that was worked on might be inflamed. Injection sites, gum tissue, and nerves in the teeth can become inflamed depending on the extent and severity of the restorations. If OTC pain meds and a night's rest do not help, then call your dentist.

Not uncommon: Symptoms of pain at the local anesthesia site, stress and pain radiating to the ear or temple very common may occur 24 hours following your dental treatment. Take NSAIDs and Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control and follow your dentist's instructions.
