Don't remember dentist using blue light, tooth hurts

[R.Patel]

Hey Everyone,

I went and got a cavity filled a couple weeks ago. However, I don't remember them using the blue UV light on the composite filling, and my tooth has been hurting a little. Is there a reason they wouldn't use the UV light to cure the filling? What do I do?!

I think there are self-curing composite fillings. Does cold or hot cause the pain? You might want to worry more about whether it was lined properly if necessary more than the nature of the filling though.
