Yes, most likely. If it was a very big filling sometimes they will cause sensitivity. Plus disrupting the tooth, will make it sore. It should get better everyday. If it does not in about a week, I would suggest going back in. One or two things COULD be going on. Either the filling needs to be adjusted more, and you are bitting to hard on it which will make it sore, so the tooth is going bad and will need further treatment like a root canal. But most likely it will go away are you will be fine.

At 4 days it is still possible to be settling down. Ultimately, it will depend upon the depth of the cavity, the state of the "nerve" at time of treatment (did you go because of a toothache?), and the type of filling (white fillings are more likely to give post-op pain than amalgams). Other factors may be a part too, such as undiagnosed fractures etc. If the pain persists after a week, or begins to worsen, then call the dentist.

I find just repeatedly touching my tooth will cause it to hurt even though heavy eating and nothing else does. I guess we do it more than we think. The pain from a recent filling, though, shouldn't last too long unless we keep playing with it or something else is wrong. It doesn't hurt to call as they have other instuctions depending on the symptoms, heat or cold and the like, after a couple of weeks. Check out my profile for emotional pain. lol

i dont think its normal,,ive had several fillings myself and i havent experienced any pain after the procedure...i had a root canal last week,and my dentist is still draining the pus from the cavity,so my tooth only has a temporary filling and it does not hurt either. .maybe because ur dentist did not clean the cavity first before filling it..u should go back to ur dentist just to be on the safe side.

Dental Filling Choices These days, the choices for dental fillings abound. Some of the most common dental filling materials available for use today include but are not limited to: Amalgam fillings - this type of filling has been used for generations and is one of the oldest materials used for filling cavities in the United States.

Composite fillings - this type of filling is created from mixing glass or courts fillers into a medium that contains resin. The result is a tooth colored fillings that is also known as the field resin or compress it. This type of filling is ideal for small to moderately sized repairs. Ionomers - tooth colored and translucent materials made of a combination of fine glass powder and acrylic acids are best used near the base or root surfaces of teeth. This type of filling is used in areas of leased chewing pressure because they can fracture easily. Gold alloys - though gold fillings and crowns used to be quite popular, they are not used to much today and less to cover damaged or cavities to molars. Containing combinations of gold and copper, gold alloy fillings are extremely strong and resist wear and tear. Base metal alloys - this type of alloy creates a silvery appearance that is often used to create bridges, dentures and crowns. Indirect composites - this type of material is best utilized in the use of inlay is an online and crowns and a similar to materials used in fillings. These composites are tooth colored, but are more prone to wear and tear as well as discoloration.
