A member asked:

My mouth is hurting after a filling. what should i do for pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely aspirin, etc.: Probably the best thing for now is simple pain meds, like aspirin, tylenol, (acetaminophen) od advil. If this persists, you might have to go back to your dentist and/or see your doctor to make sure it is not something worse.
