Is it normal to have tooth pain after a filling?

I logged my dental pain levels on my health tracker app last month and noticed the sensitivity peaked on day 3 before fading completely by day 6. Try to monitor if the pain is triggered only by temperature changes or if it's a constant throb. Sharing this log with your dentist will help them see if the filling is high.

I was actually reading a dental blog about this yesterday because my roommate is facing the same issue. It says that if the cavity was deep, the drilling process causes temporary inflammation in the pulp, which feels like a dull ache. It seems pretty normal, but they advise checking back if biting hurts.

I know how frustrating and exhausting it is when you spend money on a filling only to end up with more pain than before. It really drains you mentally when you can't even chew properly. Please know that this is a very common phase of nerve irritation, and it almost always gets better with a little time.

Dental pain can really stress you out and cause your blood pressure to fluctuate, which happened to me during my last filling. Make sure you are avoiding extra tea or coffee to cope with the pain, and keep your routine health checks in order. If the ache doesn't settle in three days, get the dentist to adjust the filling height.
