How long should a tooth ache after having a filling. I had part of a tooth break a couple of weeks ago and went to the dentist who said a small cavity had formed inbetween the teeth. Well he gave me a lot of novicane (I am a chicken for tooth pain) and proceeded to drill and fill the cavity. My tooth is aching since then and I am wondering if he stirred up or created a root canal problem. Any one else experience this or have any ideas.

I have often had tooth sensitivity after fillings and after crowns. In one instance, it took over 6 months for the tooth to calm down, but it finally did. Give it lots of time, even months, to quiet down. Hopefully it will.
What type of filling is it? Silver? I always have sensitivity after a filling. Sometimes it will take a few months until my tooth finally settles down. Someone told me to eat a few hard boiled eggs which helps to desensitize the tooth/filling.
good luck
