Hi! Mild pain or tenderness after obturation is quite normal, especially when touching or chewing. It can last for a few days to a couple of weeks as the tissues heal. Since your X-ray is fine and the pain is not constant or severe, there’s no need to worry right now. However, if the pain increases, lasts longer, or becomes sharp, you should visit your dentist for a follow-up.

hi
It is normal to experience pain after the treatment as the tooth equilibrium is being disturbed by the procedure and its sealed now
so please medications as prescribed by the dentist and if pain persists for more than 10 days, please visit dentist again
Next Steps
take the meds as prescribed and visit dentist if pain persists for more than 10 days
