I had a filling done two weeks ago in my front teeth and it is still causing a dull ache. I went back to the dentist today and he completed an X-ray where nothing abnormal came up. He said it is most likely the nerve acting up and that anti inflammatorys for a few days will help. I have mobic at home, is this sufficient to take?Thank you
Hi Lisa...thanks for asking your query pain after filling can be of multiple reasons, like residual caries lesion.microleakage in filling or if isolation was not proper during filling procedure according to your history provided, may be the filling is high and hindering in occlusion consult your dentist to evaluate your filling again and check high spots, if there are any then trim them to normal causal level. Take painkiller to reside pain thanks
