Whoa..to begin with seldom do dentists put filings in "wisdom" teeth, they usually go ahead and extract them.....but.....when you have a deep filing in any tooth the inside of the tooth is frilled out to the point that in most cases the "DENTIN"...the inside layer that is the insulator that blocks heart and cold from getting to the nerve,gets partially removed...that means that after the filing is done the nerve chamber shrinks back a little and the Dentin begins to rebuild so as to get thicker and once again be a good insulator....and that takes awhile...usually two to three weeks at most..For now eat soft foods for a day or so and don't eat or drink anything extra Hot or Cold....Good luck and I wish you well.Health Question & Answer

It will hurt for a couple of days. Fillings usually hurt for a day, extractions for about 3 days, infected gums about a week. Best thing would be do the salt treatment a day latter then maybe start using mouth wash on a regular basis.Health Question & Answer

Just tonight should, don't chew anything like gum for a while maybe, have your mom give you some medicine or something if it hurts, get her permission first though Health Question & Answer

one cup of warm water and 4 teaspoons of salt it helps sooo much!Health Question & Answer
