I got a filling about 5 hours ago and the freezing is out but my mouth still feels funny. Tried eating a spoonful of macaroni salad but it feels gritty - like there is a raspberry seed stuck in my teeth.

fillings shouldn't really bother you at all umm it might feel wierd the first day you eat with it. but it really should be fine the gritty stuff is the stuff they filled the hole with that goes away with tume like a day or 2

I usually swish a few times with warm water before I try to eat anything. That helps make sure that my mouth is fully "awake" and that I've gotten rid of all the residual filling from where they've shaped it - metal flakes are probably what made your macaroni salad taste gritty.

give it a half an hour after the novicane wheres off, and go for something light.
gargle with salt water when you get home, and do it again about a half hour before you eat helps.
chew softly at first, because your bite might have changed a bit, and your tongue and cheek have to get used to it,
I hope the tooth fairy stops in anyhow

Try brushing your teeth. They might have gotten a little of the filling on tooth and brushing will take off the excess.....
