I have undergone an RCT in my wisdom tooth. Yesterday was the second and final sitting with my dentist when he filled the canals and put the filling. Since today morning I am experiencing pain in that tooth. Just by touching the tooth or pressing on the jaw, I am feeling pain. Please advise.

For 2-3 days the pain is normal. Take painkillers. Also get the filling reduced if it feels high. Wait and watch.
