    How long should gum hurt after getting filling, gum was numb during filling?

  2. Alfredo says:

    Why do dentists numb a tooth and the surrounding area if the tooth is dead, surely I wouldn’t feel anything?

  3. Makenna says:

    The surrounding bone is alive and can hurt if not numb. However it isnt always needed if the bone is not being affected.
