Pain after dang dentist! What should i do?

Question

i had 3 fillings in 1 appointment. (its because i have grooves in my teeth which is a scream for cavities) and 2 are back to back. right there it is real sensitive to anything hot cold or crunchy. i had this done about 6 days ago. Also the 3rd filling is on the top and it hurts whenever I play my trumpet. And lastly, I have a horrible sore on the bottom inside lip where a numbing shot went in and it hurts when something hits it.

HELP! how can i get rid of the pain and annoyance??

Answer 1

your teeth are probably hurting because the tissue around them are inflamed. You need to take 1 Tylenol , and 2 - 200 mg. Motrin. every 4-6 hours. orajel directly on sore in your mouth and the gums.
the Tylenol will take the edge off of the pain, the Motrin is an anti-inflammatory that will decrease the swelling and inflammation in the gums.
Hope this helps you!


ps. when you take the motrin you need to eat a bite of something before you take it=)

Answer 2

you got 3? i had 7 once.
i know exactly how you feel whenever you eat something cold it hurts your teeth and same thing with something hot.
The dentist told me its cause the teeth got really sensitive because he drilled alot of it
My dentist told me itll be gone after awhile
after 2-3 weeks my sensitivity just went away.
im not so sure about the shot you got and why it still hurts but you should contact your dentist and ask him

Answer 3

Try calling the doctor. He should be able to suggest something or give you a RX to help you! Hope you feel Better!

Answer 4

Eat some ice cream. It always helps.

Answer 5

take some advil or tylenol...or if it still doesn't go away, call your dentist and tell him that you're still feeling pain and ask if it's normal and what you should do about it...


I hope you feel better!
