capbit Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 So I went into my dentist office last week for a filling. Since then, there has been a moderate level of pain where they injected the anesthetic. I know it's usual to have some discomfort afterwards, but I'm afraid it may have gotten infected somehow (the area feels somewhat tough to the touch). If anyone has had a similar experience any advice would be great. I'm planning on giving my dentist a call to see what the deal is tomorrow..

Xetra Dax Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 A week is in general too long, you best better go back.(as long as you know that person is a really good dentist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrobot Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'd say a call is definitely in order, at the very least. If I recall correctly, I've had one or two instances where the same thing's happened. But it wouldn't hurt to check with the dentist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
