Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had a bad cavity, and I filled it. After doing it, I started to have pain on my jaws and the areas around the tooth. My dentist is not available for a few days. What can I do now?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the query (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can see high points. The uneven pressure on the tooth causes tenderness in your jaw. You have to reduce the high points present in the filling soon and make it as even. You can take Paracetamol 500 mg for the pain until you visit your dentist.
