How long should my tooth hurt after a filling?
Usually, it eases within one to two weeks.
Can I eat right after getting a filling?
Yes, unless your dentist used a material that needs time to harden. Ask before leaving your appointment.
What if my filling feels too high?
Call your dentist. A simple bite adjustment can fix it in minutes.
Why is my tooth sensitive to cold?
The nerve may still be healing. Use desensitizing toothpaste and avoid cold drinks for a few days.
Should I be worried if the sensitivity doesn’t go away?
If it lasts more than two weeks or gets worse, schedule a checkup.
