Pain After Filling Tooth Cavity. Could This Have Caused Nerve Damage? Give Me Suggestion
I had a cavity filled about a week ago and it hurts so much that I have to keep very cold water in my mouth and when I don't it hurts. The cavity was very deep and I felt the dentist drilling into the pulp. Could my nerve just be upset? Or do I need a root canal? And can you give me some home remedies that will help with the pain please?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. If the pain lasts for more time and not even relieving after pain killers then you need to consult your treating doctor to rule out nerve damage. I suggest to apply clove oil to a cotton ball and keep that cotton at the site to get some relief. I also suggest you to take tab.flexon for pain relief. Thank you.
