Q: Pain immediately after a filling

Hello everyone,

I really hope someone can help me. For about a month I was in serious agony at the back of my mouth and developed a severe sore throat, head ache and ear ache and was told by various people my wisdom teeth were coming through, so I kept taking painkillers and thought it would go away. Anyway, I went to the dentist last week and he said a white filling i'd had put in about seven years ago had come out and needed replacing. Two days ago he put in a silver one and it is causing me so much pain and I still have a throbbing throat whenever it hurts. Painkillers do ease the pain but is this normal? Before he filled my tooth he gave me an injection which really hurt and i'm not sure if there's just a bit of trauma there because it feels like the teeth are moving. Should I leave it a few days or go back immediately? I'm terrified he's gonna say I need root canal surgery.

Thank-yooou!

Dear Zara-Maria,

As you said that there's pain in your throat too I suggest for you to go and see an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose and Throat) maybe it's not just a dental problem and if after the filling is still painful there's no harm in asking for a second opinion-
