Hi , today I have had a temporary filling after 3 weeks of extreme pain after a filling fell out and the area became infected.
I wasn't able to get a dentist appointment until today. I was however given antibiotics a week ago . So this helped .
However the area is still painful and even today with the temporary filling the area is painful.
I am booked in to have a permanent filling.
But I am concerned that the tooth actually needs removing instead.
Is it normal to have the tooth hurt for a while after a temporary filling?
Any advice appreciated , thanks![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
