[|Human|] just got a filling on saturday and the same tooth started hurting yesterday and the pain got worst by 11 pm. I had some chocolate last night as well. Is it normal to hurt after getting a filling or was it the chocolate or something else? I took an advile 500mg pain realiver 3 hours ago and it went away.our health queries right now ?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain after the filling can be because of two reasons, The first reason could be a decay involving the pulp and over that restoration has been done. This can cause severe pain in the tooth. The second cause could be any high points or extra filling material over the chewing surface. Consult your dentist and get these two things ruled out. You need to take a radiograph to see the extent of decay. If the decay is involving pulp, then the previous filling has to be removed, and it should be restored with RCT. If there is high points then, it has to be reduced. The painkillers will work for 3-4 hours, after that again the pain will come. So consult the dentist immediately. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
