How To Reduce The Severe Dental Pain Following Replacement Of Root Filling ?
I have severe dental pain following replacement of root filling on Monday . I have had 3 x 400mg ibuprofen and 8 x 500mg of paracetamol and am still in extreme pain. Codeine based products have previously made my pain worse so do not suit me. Can I safely take anything else please

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Pain after filling in the tooth can be because of two reasons presence of high points or presence of secondary infection beneath the restored tooth.
I would suggest you to consult to Dentist and get an x-ray done.
If there is presence of high points get it trimmed.
If needed go for re-filling of the tooth.
Take pain killer for temporary relief.
Take care!
