Is It Normal To Have Severe Swelling And Pain After Having Many Cavities Filled ?
I went to the dentist yesterday and had 7 cavities filled and got 10 shot and now today my face is severely swolen, and my jaw is so painful I can barely talk. I've had cavities filled many times before and this has never happened. Should I go to a doctor? Or is this normal? Thanks.

Thanks for your question..!
Please note, if you have undergone fillings for your teeth. You will generally not get any pain and swelling post procedure. However due to errors in Anesthetic injection procedure you might have developed swelling in the upper jaw region.
You can revisit your dentist instead of your physician, who can handle your situation by providing pain killers and drugs to reduce the swelling.
