i had a tooth filled about 2 weeks ago. The decay was really deep and was close to the nerve but not quite there so the dr. had to put an indirect pulp cap on it. Is it normal for my tooth to still be sensitive? Its stil pretty sensitive to ice water and teh sensitivity stays there for a few seconds. Is this something i should i worry about? I dont wanna go back there unless i really need to cause i dont have insurance and i dont wanna pay money for a visit that wasnt necessary.
Been 2 weeks since tooth filling...still sensitive?
well it coz ur teeth r sensitive... u wud hv experienced da same wen u hv too hot or too cold stuffs.. da latter being the worst case...
The nerve in da tooth usually passes da sensation to da brain.. that is y in root canal, the nerve is taken off so do not feel the pain later on.. try using soft bristles toothbrush an propoer toothpaste.. if u feel the pain even wen u hv normal temperature meals den kindly consult da doc.. he mite giv u a pain killer
Reply:im in the same boat as you. its been a month and i still cant chew anything on it .think i might try another dentist.good luck
Reply:You will probably need to go back and have the root canal done to remove the nerve. Since the decay was really deep the filling is pressing on the nerve which is causing you to be sensitive. Since you don't have any insurance you can wait it out until it gets worse but I would go ahead and have it done now. It is going to get to the point where it will hurt all the time. It will start to become sensitive to hot, pressure, keeping you awake at night or waking you up. It can also cause swelling if it gets bad enough. Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon.
