If your husband is still experiencing pain a week after his silver filling, it could be due to residual inflammation from the infection or procedure, an uneven filling causing pressure, nerve irritation, or an infection that hasnât fully resolved. It's important for him to visit the dentist for a follow-up to check the filling's fit and determine if further treatment, such as a root canal, is needed. In the meantime, pain relief medication can help manage the discomfort.
Next Steps
Should take Xray of the tooth at the earliest.
