Case Description
I had two fillings on Monday of this week. My gums near the teeth and still throbbing and am still in quite a bit of pain. The pain sometimes shoots up to my ear. It is not constant, but still very uncomfortable. Is this normal?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Tissue soreness near a tooth just having fillings is possible. It usually resolves in several days. Consider warm salt water rinse every few hours. Advil or tylenol every 4-6 hours if necessary.
