I am having some issues with a tooth that was filled 6 weeks ago. It is not sensitive to heat at all. Very little sensitivity to cold. It has decreased over time. My tooth feels sore. Biting on it really doesnt hurt. I have not lost any sleep. In fact it feels better in the morning after sleep.floride tooth paste helps with the soreness. Is it normal to have soreness after a big filling? Any help is appreciated!
I think you should talk about this to your dentist. I got mercury amalgam fillings from Centenary Dental Clinic in Toronto 4 weeks ago. So far have no issues with it and I feel really better.
Hello - I had a deep cavity in my back molar that was causing sensitivity to sweets, hot food, and cold food. About 6 weeks ago, the dentist drilled out the decay, put a layer of medicine in the tooth, and put a composit filling on top of it. Everything has been great for the past 6 weeks - no pain, sensitivity, or discomfort . . . until about 4 days ago. The tooth has a very low, dull ache. Hot and cold foods cause more discomfort than before I had the filling. My symptoms have increased over the past 4 days. I also developed a slight earache.
I can't get to my dentist for another 4 days (I am away on business). Does anyone have any experience of a filling suddenly becoming uncomfortable after 6 weeks? Is it possible my dentist didn't get all the decay out (that would be really lame)? Is a root canal inevitable (God I hope not)?
Any advice would help.
Sounds like a nerve is going. See the dentist as the can x ray it. If that's the case it will only get worse.
