It can be normal for the first day or two at the most. If it last more then that you should contact your dentist. The fillings can be high and will require the dentist to make small adjustments to make the sensitivity go away. The main thing to remember is that it should start to improve not get worse. If you start having more sensitivity or it gets worse instead of better, call your dentist.

MANNY,
SOME DISCOMFORT AFTER FILLINGS IS NORMAL.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
WHEN A FILLING IS DONE, THE TOOTH IS DRILLED ON, AND THIS CAUSES LOCALIZED TRAUMA TO THE TOOTH.
THE NERVE RESPONDS BY TRYING TO PROTECT ITSELF AND CAUSE THAT SLIGHT INFLAMMATION.
AFTER A FEW DAYS THIS ALL HEALS AND THINGS RETURN TO NORMAL -- AND THE PAIN GOES AWAY.
TAKE SOME IBUPROFEN. THIS MEDICATION HELPS NOT ONLY PAIN, BUT ALSO INFLAMMATION.

yes, it is perfectly normal. just take some ibprofine. and the pain and sensitivity will lessen. i've had plenty of cavities filled to know what it's like.

yes. you had some major work done on your teeth and your gums are sensitive as it is....It will be sore for a while. Take some Motrin. It works really good for pain.
