Unbearable pain days after fillings
6 days ago, I got 5 fillings done on the right side of my mouth. The next day, I got 3 more on the other side. The pain has not subsided, and even woke me this morning because it was so extreme. The dentist told me that 2 of the cavities were really deep and I would experience some soreness, but I did not think it would be this bad. Ibuprofen takes the pain away completely, but without it, I'm miserable. What's going on and is this normal?

Just be sure about if its sensitivity or pain.
If it's sensitivity try using any sensitive toothpaste following which the pain/sensitivity will reduce within a week.
But if u continue having pain do visit the dentist again.
