Unfortunately, toothache after filling does not occur very rarely and mainly in advanced dental disease. But there are also independent of the dentist and the patient the causes of pain, such as filling material idiosyncrasy.
Why can occur when filling toothache
Toothache after filling can occur for various reasons. Sometimes, even a properly treated tooth ache after sealing, for example by mastication of solid food. This is because the filling of the tooth cavity prior treatment, if necessary - the treatment or removal of the soft tissues of the tooth (pulp) located in pulp cavity and root canals.
Perhaps the sealing was preceded by treatment of periodontal inflammation - ligament that holds the tooth in the cell. Even if all medical manipulations were carried out at the same time quite correctly, dental tissue and the surrounding tissue (periodontal) are injured and are entitled sometimes slightly hurt. But it is not severe pain, it is usually caused by biting or cold food, and runs for two months.
Finally, the reason for toothache
Toothache - itself does not take place
at sealing technology can be filling. For example, when using a light-curing filling material stream of light necessary for curing them, may cause a violation of the structure of the tooth pulp, and hence the toothache after filling.
If the pain continues after two months, you will need to find another reason for their appearance, for example, finished the cure pulpit

or periodontitis, errors when filling, idiosyncrasy filling material (in this case the seal simply rework, setting a new one from a different material).
Incorrect or incomplete treatment of tooth
When the dental hard tissues are destroyed, the infection can penetrate into the first cavity of the tooth pulp and hit, and then root canals to get to the apex and go to the periodontium.
In this case, before filling necessary or cure inflammation in the pulp, or simply delete it. This is a fairly complex and lengthy process, and if some of the inflamed tissue is not cured or removed, it is, of course, will get sick. Thus, under seal, in the closed space of the inflammatory process may begin with a vengeance, causing even more dental pain than before sealing.
This situation can occur if the filling material is not filled in all the root canals or when the tooth cavity was not well prepared and cleaned before filling, and it remained under seal fragments of dental hard tissues, necrotic tissue. In such cases, the inflammatory process under seal flare up with renewed vigor.
And with periodontitis
Periodontitis - a serious complication of pulpitis
can suffer, and general - appear fever, chills.
Severe pain, and the higher the temperature, can not be tolerated, it is necessary to address immediately to the dentist.
In this case, first of all, make an X-ray of the tooth and find out the cause of the pain. Then, the seal is opened and a tooth being treated again by all the rules. After two weeks of treatment at a temporary filling is set and only then, if the tooth does not hurt, it was changed to permanent.
Irregularities in tooth fillings
In some cases, pain may be the result of the process of sealing. As you know, before filling a tooth cavity preparation takes place - the extension of its cut-off altered caries

tissues. At this time, possible injury to the pulp (usually burns), after which the cured inflammatory process is resumed. In preparation for the filling may be injured and solid tissue, for example, in contact with these acids.
Also, sometimes when fillings are not captured or are not fully taken into account the ability of the sedimentary filling material. Because of this, after a time between tooth fillings and crowns are formed slits which gets an infection causing inflammation of the pulp and toothache.
When the process is conducted continuous sealing tooth dentin acid treatment, it may cause a deeper penetration of the filling material into the dentin, which would irritate the pulp and cause toothache.
In all cases, the seals properly, it is removed again by all the rules being treated tooth, impose a two-week temporary filling and if during that time there is a toothache, is replaced by a temporary seal permanent.
Pain after filling can be different, some of them just need to be patient, while others require immediate care dentist. In any case, if the tooth hurts very much, it is necessary to seem dentist.
