Dull sporatic pain after tooth filling. is there anything that will help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Your Dentist: I recommend you follow up with your dentist. Minor sensitivity is normal for a day or two after a recent filling. If your pain is more severe, please see your dentist to determine why. It may be as simple as adjusting the bite. In the mean time, Ibuprofen (advil) is what i recommend for dental pain (unless of course is it medically contraindicated for you). Hope you are out of pain soon!
