It is normal to experience some discomfort after a filling procedure, and tooth pain can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The duration of pain can vary depending on factors such as the type and size of filling, as well as individual dental needs.
During a filling procedure, the dentist will remove decayed material from the tooth and fill the cavity with a dental material. This can cause some sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures and pressure on the tooth.
Tooth pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication or prescription painkillers as recommended by a dental professional. It is important to avoid consuming hot or cold foods and drinks and to maintain good oral hygiene habits to minimize pain.
If tooth pain persists beyond a few weeks or is severe, it is important to consult with a dental professional. They can assess individual dental needs and recommend appropriate treatment plans to manage pain and maintain good oral health.
