Should new fillings still be hurting?!
Question:
Should new fillings still be hurting?
Last week I had three fillings refilled on either side of my mouth. At the time, when the dentist was pushing the filling in (sorry, don't know the name of the substance), I felt some real soreness, almost as if she had touched a nerve for a second or two.
Over the weekend the pain has been on and off. But this morning, even with co-codamol, it hurts to eat, and the sides of my face are also painful.
Going to give the dentist a call once they are open for business, but feel a bit of a fool if I should really be giving it a little longer to settle down.
Thanks for any advice.
Answers:
You must be in some real pain!! Tell your dentist and get an appointment ASAP but meanwhile drink warm drinks and use a bit of bonjella on your gums to ease the pain a bit. Hope you get well soon!!
