A member asked:
I had a filling done and after the novacane wore off there is a pain in my cheek why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post op pain: Much depends on the dental procedure. Usually the post op pain is in the jaw and some is expected. In the check-- unusual. Report it to the dentist but first look to see if you bit the cheek while it was numb.
