Hi, I have had a filling on monday, and beginning on thursday, I have been getting horrible pain in my tooth, my filing is not crumbling or falling out, and the pain comes every couple of hours or so. The only way  can describe it is as if something is trying to lift out my filling. I was wondering why this is and whats happening?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Pain in the tooth with the filling can be if the decay in the tooth is involving the pulp. Was the tooth treated with root canal treatment? I would advise you to visit your treating dentist and have a radiograph done. If there is pupal involvement, please have the root canal treatment done. For the pain ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) can be taken. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
