All I'm trying to do is figure out the heighth of the platform I will need to build to install a new shower stall. Oh and Marlin, I said that a hole was not an option for many reasons. Number one on that list is not wanting to turn a $3,000 job into a $30,000 job.
In brief: Generally.. As far as the filling itself goes, you can eat right away with tooth colored composite fillings, but should wait at least one hour with amalgam (silver) fillings. It's always best you ask your own dentist as this can vary somewhat based upon the size and location of the filling.
Best Answer: Pain for 2-3 days after dental filling is normal. It takes a day or two for filling to settle. As of now take OTC pain med for pain relief. If pain is very severe or if it persists beyond 3-4 days, then you can refer to your dentist for revaluation. It can be because of some high point on filling or can be because of infection still left in the tooth. Avoid eating from that side of the tooth otherwise pain will aggravate.
