What Causes Swollen Cheeks In A Child After Getting Teeth Filled?
My 4 year old had to have 2 small fillings placed in his his upper and lower back teeth. His cheek is so swollen now, in side and out that it looks like someone hit him. Could this be from biting his cheek whil it was numb, I really don't see bite marks.
