Teeth hurt after fillings?
I had 4 fillings done yesterday morning in the upper left quadrant of my mouth. Today, the teeth are very painful and I can't eat on them - it hurts even if they just bump the teeth below them.
How long will this pain last for? I know it's normal to have some sensitivity and pain after fillings, but how much pain is considered "normal"? And is there anything I can do to ease the pain just now?
Any advice will be appreciated as I have a lot more fillings to get done over the next few weeks and want to make it as simple and pain free as I possibly can!
Teeth hurt after fillings?
You should only have sensativity to hot and cold at worst. If it's ongoing lingering pain then the fillings may have pushed the nerve over the edge.
Sharp sensativity to cold is a unique and common symptom of new amalgam fillings. If you nurse the tooth by keeping cold foods away from them, that can help you avoid pain. If the pulp is still healthy it will begin to lay down a repairitive layer to help draw back from the filling, thus diminishing the cold sensativity over the long term.
The process of the tooth dying:
Ongoing lingering pain which is dull and spontaneous is a sign of the pulp dying. This type of pain goes on for a few weeks and intensifies, eventually it cresciendos and you will wake up pain free. The pulp is dead. After this point it's a matter of time before infection sets in. the dead and necrosing pulp provides a perfect breeding ground for infection and the next thing you know its time for a root canal or bite the gun(badger with a) and have the tooth pulled.
