What to do for pain in a filling?

For tooth pain after a filling, you can try taking Advil every 6 to 8 hours as needed (with food) for the best relief. You can also combine it with Tylenol for additional pain relief, as they work differently. If the pain lasts longer than 7 days without improvement or gets worse, it's best to see a dentist. In the meantime, feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
