Sensitive Teeth Ask The Dentist Edward Leventhal

Question:
I had a filling done a month ago.

Ever since then the tooth on that side of my mouth has gotten more and more sensitive to hot and cold foods to the point where if it's not room temperature I can't eat it.

Will this go away or this this normal? ...Visitor from MD

Answer:
The symptoms you describe point to either a deep filling with the nerve of the tooth in dying mode or a high filling that has to be reduced so you are not hitting it prematurely every time you chew.

See your dentist for follow up.
