[|Human|] i got my 3rd molar filled last month. Now, i have a tender spot on my face near the bottom corner of my nose. Below the eye. I can trace the pain to the tooth that was fixed. I wouldnt say it hurts, but it feels very akward. a few days after the filling, i noticed that it was Extremely sensitive to hot/cold. Not anymore. Now i just have the slight sore spot nex to my nose. about the size of your finger tip. That side of my face is the same size as the other. No swelling as of yet.......should i be worried? Or should i just ignore it and let the 2012 apocolypse wipe us all out?
[|AI|]  Hello, Sensitivity after a filling is common. Avoid any stress to the new filling for a few days is always a good idea. When getting numb, you sometimes don't bite down the same way as when not numb.  Call your dentist to check your bite and have a high spot reduced if needed. If the fling does not appear intact or rough, also, get it checked. Symptoms of greater concern that may require an X-ray to look at the root include a reaction to pressure where you can't chew on that tooth, more hot than cold sensitivity, bubble or swelling on gum near tooth, pain medication does not work, and increase in discomfort. Having your mouth and lips held open can cause soreness or result in slight irritations. The third molar is an awkward location. Large decay areas with deep fillings can be sensitive for quite some time. The concern is with an infection and needing to have a root canal on the tooth.  I will warn patients of this concern when treating decayed teeth. You may wish to give the tooth more time and monitor for the conditions above or make a dental visit to check on the filling.  You seem to be improving rather than developing more symptoms which is a positive !
