About 7 hours ago I had some cavities filled. The local anesthesia was not strong enough so my dentist gave me some extra shots in the roof of my mouth. This cause the area to immediately swell which I was told is normal. But its still swollen. Is it still normal? When should I be concerned?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone restoration now you feel like swelling don't worry swelling can be normal after anesthesia, if your swelling increases then visit dentist again and go for IOWA investigations if restoration causes swelling then go for Root Canal treatment, You do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you.  Wishing you good healthRegards
