[|Human|] Hi I had a broken molar (7) drilled and filled right side 5 days ago. I now have pain down mandible, (intermittent) on 2nd premolar-in ear like earache and up right side of face to top of head-not throbbing but intermittent and self medicating with ibruprofen 400mg some left over tramadol and panadol. Should I wait for the pain to go or go for extraction? Sometimes no pain sometimes lots of pain.
[|AI|]  A thing to keep in mind is that it is quite common to feel a bit of pain after a filling has been done. Your teeth and the surrounding region might be sensitive to the material that has been used for the filling and the trauma that it has undergone. Give it time to heal, and the filling will settle down. If the toothache persists even after a few weeks of the filling then something is certainly amiss. All that you need to do is to go to the dentist for a second time and explain the pain and how you feel. The dentist will then be able to ascertain the reason for the pain after the filling and ad Chat Doctor.  The dentist might advise you to use a sensitive toothpaste or put on a desensitizing agent on the tooth. After all of this, if the pain still persists then all that you can do is to have a root canal treatment done to get rid of the pain after the filing.
