Pain after dental filling?!

Sometimes when a filling is deep it can irritate the nerve in the tooth and can cause the pain you describe, usually this settles down on it's own without treatment. It would be a good idea to pop back and let your dentist check that your filling isn't too high, ie; taking the full force when you bite together, this can also cause intermittent pain, simply grinding a little filling off will help,good luck!Health Question & Answer
