I had three fillings done last wednesday on my upper right side, starting behind the canine tooth and the fillings were inbetween the teeth. The next day I hoticed that the little piece of skin above the canine was painful, I think its called a fenula, the next day it was swollen to a point where i noticed it in my mouth and really hadnt ever paid it much attention prior. Its still swollen, still very painful to smile, chew, or when my face is touched outside the area. What would this be
Hello, The swelling at the site of restoration done, may be due to-overfilling or deep carious lesion involving pulp of the filled tooth causing pain. Based on the clinical interpretation, tooth has to be either re-filled or root canal treated. Please do visit a dentist for further reference. To relieve pain amoxicillin and diclofenac tab. Has to be administered. Hope this helps.
