I had a silver filing last Tuesday and the Dentist said it was a deep cavity. I did not have any pain before the filing, but now I get a strong throbing pain periodically. I'm worried that I could have an infection, but I don't want to go back unless this really is the case because I don't currently have dental insurance.
Answer:
If you don't take care of it soon its gonna infect and get worse ,then your gonna need a root canal to clean the roots and get the infected pulp out.
You need to go back to the dentist. You may have developed an abscess after the filling. This does sometimes happen.
