Re: Pain after amalgam removal



It is really impossible to diagnose your problem without seeing you. I
would contact your dentist immediately and explain the problem and see what
he says. It could resolve itself, but even if the pain goes away, there
still could be a problem. See your dentist and have it checked today!
