I'm in the process of getting invisalign so had a check up at a new dentist which led to a filling needing to be replaced. I had that. It was quite deep but she said she did not hit the nerve. Straight afterwards I had impressions taken for the invisalign. 2 lots on top and 2 lots on the bottom.
The filled tooth was a bit sensitive for a few days but then it was okay - but a week later I had niggling pain in the gum above that tooth and also at the back of my jaw and up my face. It's continued intermittently for the past 2 weeks. The pain is mild and not always there but I can see that side of my face is ever so slightly swollen. The pain is not like tooth ache and more of the discomfort is in my jaw/face. I have read that a deep filling can cause mild discomfort for some weeks and not to worry so long as it is getting better, not worse - which mine seems to be as I haven't had to take pain killers for a few days. But my face is still swollen on that side and the jaw discomfort hasn't subsided.
Any ideas?
