Dental filling procedure is in clinic handled by dentist, but the denture is manufactured in laboratory using different lab materials, tools and equipment, one of the basic equipment is the dental polishing lathe for processing acrylic denture, cobalt chrome denture etc. Therefore, dental filling procedure is a complex project for every patient.

For toothache after filling, it is also divided into short-term or long-term, these two situations are different. For recent pain, it may be due to material irritating the pulp. The long-term situation may be due to the secondary occurrence of pulpits. But don’t worry, all kinds of toothaches can be resolved as long as they are treated in time.

  2. If there is slight pain after filling the teeth, you can observe yourself first, and some minor discomfort and pain may disappear on their own. If the pain is not relieved, but further aggravates, or occlusion pain, throbbing pain, hot and cold stimulation pain, and spontaneous pain at night occur, you should go to the hospital for follow-up examination and treatment in time to find out the cause and eliminate the pain.
