Hi. I just got a small cavity filled yesterday in tooth number 17. Im 27 and its only the 3rd cavity Ive had in my life. As soon as the numbness wore off 3 hours after the procedure I started experiencing jaw muscle pain... Is this normal since I was a little tense during the 15 minute procedure? It hurts to open my mouth and also if I press on my cheek where tooth 17 is...
