Besides being one of the most demanded techniques in our dental clinic in Barcelona, dental fillings are placed painlessly and quickly. But can there be pain after a filling? In this week’s post we tell you about it. If you are interested, read on!
When are dental fillings used?
Caries is a dental disease that affects 90% of the world’s population, both adults and children. It is essential to know that, if not treated in time, it can even lead to the loss of the damaged tooth.
In this sense, dental fillings are one of the most common techniques to eliminate the dreaded cavities. This procedure consists of cleaning the cavity that has been opened by this destructive process and injecting a filler that will take shape. In this way, the tooth is restored to its shape and functionality, stopping the corrosive process of caries and saving the affected tooth.
Pain after a filling, is it possible?
Dental fillings are minimally invasive tooth preservation procedures, so the patient does not have to feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure or at home afterwards.
If the dental filling to be performed is very deep, the dentist will apply local anesthesia to numb the area to be treated, so the patient will not notice anything during the procedure.
Once the anesthesia wears off, the tooth will feel like a normal tooth and will be able to resume its function without pain or tooth sensitivity.
However, if there is any pain or discomfort after the filling is placed, it is possible that it is because the cavity was too large and the reconstruction is too close to the nerve.
In any case, the most advisable thing to do is to visit your trusted dental clinic so that the specialist can solve the problem as soon as possible.
Our dentists in Barcelona perform this treatment daily with composite, a biocompatible material with the body that will recover the shape of the tooth and prevent further spread of caries.
