I had a molar that had a filling. The filling fell out and I had one day of pain. I used temporary filling for about three weeks with no pain at all. I went to the dentist he suggested I have the tooth pulled or a root canal however the tooth was visible so he agreed to fill it for me. I had the tooth filled. He gave me an antibiotic and 800 mg of Motrin. It has only been 1 day and I have had 1 day of antibiotic. I have right cheek bone pain that expands into right temple. The pain medicine takes the edge off and sometimes the pain will dissipate and then return it s not horrible but it s constant and feels more like a throbbing. Is this normal pain for a cavity filling?? Is there something more I should be doing??
