What should I do if my tooth hurts after getting a dental inlay?

After getting dental restorations, if you experience tooth pain, you can try applying a cold compress to the affected area for about 15 minutes at a time, repeating several times daily to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Avoid eating hard, sticky, or foods and drinks with extreme temperature variations to minimize irritation. Maintaining good oral hygiene is also important—use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean your teeth and rinse your mouth with lukewarm salt water. If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical advice promptly.
