2 weeks ago I had 3 cavities filled. (2 on bottom same side, 1 on top same side). Ever since then i keep smelling a chemical smell. After they were done i mentioned that it felt like i had something gritty in the back of my throat to which i was told it was ok and just left over from the work the dental assistant did. Im starting to get worried and dont know what to do. What could be causing this?
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you are mentioning that you got your filling done 2 weeks ago, and you are still feeling chemical smell in your mouth, then it is not a common condition, it looks that you are having some allergic reaction which causing irritation in your throat. Better you should visit your dentist again and get a re-restoration done. Hope this will help you.
