Sensitive Teeth After Getting Cavities Filled?

I am 29 and just had my 1st cavities and got them filled.. the were on teeth right beside each other..


When I first had them filled my teeth were sensitive.. it got better but now (about 2 months later) I can't drink anything hot or cold, or eat on those 2 teeth..


I do not plan on using the same dentist again... I am not too happy.


Anyone know what this is? I am using sensitive toothpaste but it is too soon to see the benefits...

Sensitive Teeth After Getting Cavities Filled?
It is normal to have sensitivity when you have dental work done. If you are bitting too hard on your new fillings that can cause sensitivity. Go to a dentist and have them check the occlusion and maybe take a new x-ray to make sure they look okay. The dentist you had do your fillings would most likely redo your fillings for you or at least make sure they are okay at no charge. Good luck!
Reply:If it is persisting this long I would call your dentist or another dentist to check the filling, if it was not done correctly the filling could be not air tight which is a breeding ground for bacteria.
Reply:Don't blame the dentist, I think this is pretty normal. I've had tons of fillings done, and my teeth are very sensitive, especially to cold. Some of the fillings were done years ago and yep, it's still sensitive. I think it also depends on the type of fillings you received as well. Maybe you are right, and something is going on, but in all likelihood, it's just the normal reaction that most people experience after receiving fillings...especially the silver ones, and it's not likely to be much different if you go to a different dentist. I've had two different ones do fillings, and it's been the same with both. You will get used to it, and the sensitivy does decrease after some time...soon, you probably won't even notice it anymore. No worries....
Reply:it is normal for them to be sensitive for a few weeks, depending on how deep the fillings are.


The bite (occlusion) may need to be checked by a dentist. It was not necessarily the dentist, but it would be better if you went back to them because they will have everything on record and recheck you.


Good luck....
Reply:It's not unusual to have sensitive fillings for a while, but 2 months does seem pretty long. Sometimes, when the cavity goes quite deep, a dentist will put a base coating of a material (can't remember what it's called) to create a barrier between the pulp and the metal. Maybe this was not done.





You can have them checked, but to remove and re-do by another dentist will cost you. If it keeps up by April, I would definitely have it checked out tho.
Reply:Two months is too long, go to another dentist maybe the filling came out and air or food, drink is getting inside hitting the nerve.Try to use a straw to prevent infection and go get it checked out. Gods Blessings Be Unto You.
Reply:The decay might be deeper than what the dentist had predicted. You might need a root canal treatment if this pain has been around for 2 months.





Best option is to ask your dentist. Sometimes people with tooth coloured fillings experience more pain than the metal fillings.
