How to Deal with Pain After Dental Filling
A dental filling is generally a painless procedure. But, when you feel pain afterward, it most commonly is because the filling is too high.
Your dentist will do their best to the right height. As you try to speak, chew or move your mouth, the filling may not feel right. If the filling is high, cracking will become more likely.
Talk to us so we can reshape or smooth out the filling by calling us at 703-822-5583 today.
