A member asked:

Tooth and jaw pain days after getting fillings. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Possibly your bite may not be level in which case you will need a slight bite adjustment. Other possibility might be fillings that are deep and very close to the nerve. See your dentist to evaluate your problem and determine the appropriate treatment.
