If the gum was damaged during the treatment, the tooth will stop hurting after 1-1.5 weeks. When the unpleasant sensation only intensifies, it speaks of possible problems and complications.
Most often the tooth aches after filling for such reasons:
- Sensitivity to cold and hot food, which occurs due to the involvement of soft tissues in the treatment process. In most cases, the tooth quickly gets used to the foreign body and hurts more when exposed to heat and cold.
- When running dental disease inflammation can go to the soft tissues of the gums. First of all, the hard part of the tooth is destroyed, after which the infection penetrates the pulp. If you do not start treatment, the disease will affect the periodontium, as well as the root of the tooth. Therefore, it is important to cure pulpit before filling the canal. If any of the parts remain undertreated, then even under the filling the pain will increase. With the development of periodontitis, symptoms such as fever and general weakness are usually observed. It is important to note that during a visual examination, even an experienced dentist will not notice pulp inflammation, so you will have to remove the filling.

Naturally, in this case, the tooth will hurt very much. If acids were used during the treatment, then injury to hard tissues is possible.
- Severe pain can cause gap formation between filling and crown, as well as getting a significant amount of filling material inside the tooth.
- After a few months and even years after professional tooth treatment, the filling may be damaged, due to which the tooth starts to hurt unbearably. This is due to the wear of the material, as a result of which the cavity is not tightly closed. Respectively, between tooth and the filling itself appears a gap where plaque is formed, and where food particles get. All this provokes the development of inflammation.
- Sometimes teeth hurt after filling, which was performed recently. This is due to damage or loss of filling caused by insufficient or improper preparation of the tooth for treatment.
- If the canal was sealed, the cause of the pain is violation of technology.
