I wanted to post a follow-up report to all my previous posts to say that the sensitivity in my upper molar has pretty much subsided. I don't chew ice or hard, crunchy food on it still but I am able to chew most foods without annoyance after a full 1.5 months of babying the tooth. I urge everyone to ask your dentist questions before a procedure is d... more

I purposefully did not go to a follow-up dental appointment the following week to have two additional fillings completed, because of what I researched online about tooth sensitivity afte... more
Toothfairy999, sounds like your dentist could have drilled too deeply and irritated the nerve. Then on top of that, you have had a new filling compressed down upon that irritated nerve.

Irudis, I am NOT a dentist but I might be able to help you somewhat. I can tell you that my pain is indeed subsiding (after a whole month!). You might benefit from taking 1000mgs of acetometaphen twice daily until the pain goes down. Do NOT eat hard foods, as this will aggravate your fillings immensely. Also, you may want to wear a mouth guard at n... more
