I had a filling done 1 week ago on a back tooth. Yesterday i noticed that it was still uncomfortble to chew on and at one point got a full blown toothache . I took advil and it went away. During the night I woke up 2 times with my mouth watering like I was going to throw up but I didn t have to. Could it be related? Hoping there s no infection.
Hi McCarthy, You got a recent filling done just a week ago, and you are not comfortable to chew on, this is a clear indication that at some point in the filling there is a high point means the filling is little high from the tooth surface. When you are closing your mouth the total force of mastication is coming on that point of filling. That's why you are not comfortable and there was pain at a particular one point.  Mouth watering can be related to the filling also, but you need not to worry about it. Your body will adjust to the new filling material and this will go by its on. Just go to your dentist and get that high point removed, and you will get a big relief.
