Is it normal to feel pain in your teeth 2 hours after you go to the dentist?
I feel it like the whole DAY after I go to the dentist! I hate when they floss for you and like dig way deep in your gums, that hurts so bad. It's like "Thanks, I know how to floss."





I wouldn't be worried. If it lasts more than a day, call your dentist and tell them your concerns.
Reply:In your teeth or in your gums?
Reply:yeah maybe their jus sore..it'll be okay
Reply:I'm always sore after the dentist - even if it's just a cleaning.
Reply:Yes
Reply:If you had major work, yes.


If not, well, another trip back perhaps.
Reply:It depends on what you just had done. There can be pain from cleaning but not for long. But fillings or teeth pulled can hurt for quite awhile.
Reply:this depends on the procedure. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time and got a whammy dose of novacain. I dont think it should be extremelly painful like that.
Reply:I never had that problem when I leave the dentist's office....but maybe you are sensitive in the gums and teeth or you had some deep dental work like a root canal. Give it a day, and if it continues, contact your dentist so he can help you.
Reply:If the dentist did work like a filling, it's totally normal to feel pain after the pain killer wears off.
Reply:depends what you got done, if you had a cavity filled or had braces tightened then yes .. if it was just a check up and now your teeth hurt you should probably call the dentist office if it's still open
Reply:Yeah sometimes it happens. Try using some mouth wash and sensitive tooth paste.
Reply:yes, its normal. but it depends on the doctor, he/she should do x-rays for you to check the conditions of your tooth. maybe it got infection, and you have to end up doin root canal treatment.
Reply:It all depends on the type of work done on you. It should not hurt after a couple of hours. If will be painful, your dentist needs to explain why and give you a course of action. It's late now, I think taking some Advil will ease the pain. If the pain is still there when you wake up in the morning, I'd give the dentist a call.





Hope you feel better.
Reply:U have your tooth pulled? If yes, it's normal coz u will get the pain after the "pain killer' (medicine) went off. Anyway, its vary and depend to each individual...
Reply:yes. the dentist was poking around your gums which probably hit a nerve. being that the gums aren't usually being poked at, it's gonna hurt a little bit. If it lasts more than a day, something's messed up.
Reply:I recently had fillings put in my teeth, and the doctor told me that I was going to have pain for the next 3-4 weeks, so depending on what you had done (at the dentist) It could be normal
Reply:It depends did you get fillings? if so then yes it might hurt you for about a day or two if longer then I would call you Dentist but really don't worry about it to much.
Reply:It is if you have a little exposed gumline (normal) or if you have been needing to have brushed regularly at the gumline, so he needed to chipp away at your gumline- tartar there. Hot and cold sensitivity?
Reply:Yes it is. You can rinse with warm salt water to help ease the pain. The warm water eases the muscles and the salt protects against minor infection in the mouth. You can also use orajel to numb the area that hurts. It doesn't taste wonderful but it will kill the pain.
Reply:Well yeah, but it depends on what the dentist did with your teeth. You know like getting braces. Overall I think it's pretty normal to get sore after a visit to the dentist.
Reply:I THINK IT IS NORMAL BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO THE DENTIST I ALWAYS FEEL PAIN FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
Reply:It depends on what you had done, as everyone has said. But it also depends on whether or not you have sensitive teeth. If it were a crown or root canal, you may have some soreness....if you've had a tooth extracted, again you will have some soreness. If you've had a cavity restored, it may be that all the decay wasn't taken out, there might be an infection or maybe the cavity wasn't fully put in. If you did have a cavity...composite fillings are made hard with an ultraviolet light and you should be fine. If it was an amalgam filling or silver filling (they're the same thing) then it takes a few hours for that to fully harden.





you're going to have to be a bit more specific. i'm a dental assistant but i can only go so far as to figure out what kind of pain you're feeling, but i hope it helped. GOOD LUCK =)
Reply:Yes, even if it's a cleaning.





If you rarely ever floss your teeth or haven't gotten your teeth cleaned in awhile, your gums are going to be a little sore. Keep flossing and get them cleaned every 6 months and the gums should toughen up, not to mention there will be less work to do if you keep up the regimen.





If it was more serious than a cleaning, yes, of course they're going to hurt 2 hrs later. :)
