Sensitivity of Tooth after filling
The People have a cavity in their tooth, dentist
will possibly suggest to go for a filling.
Fillings are harmless and effective, but some
people might experience embarrassment or tooth
sensitivity afterward. Mostly, this sensitivity
is normal and will get solve within a few days or
weeks but not too long time. A person should
call their dentist right away if they have
extreme pain, or if discomfort occurs with other
symptoms, such as fever, redness, or swelling. A
filling is a dental procedure that encompasses a
dental specialist cleaning away any decay from
the tooth and then filling that place with a new
material which is suitable. When a person has a
sensitive tooth, they may know that few triggers
cause a temporary, uncomfortable sensation in
the filled tooth or adjacent area. It may feel
like a shock of cold or unexpected pain that
comes on quickly and goes away.
Few Reasons that can trigger tooth sensitivity
after a filling include
  • Food which is cold or Soft drinks, like ice
    cream, popsicles and beverages with ice
  • hot drinks, such as coffee or tea
  • at the time of breathing air hitting the tooth,
    such as when breathing through the mouth, which
    may be worse with cold air
  • at the time of eating candys because of
    sweetness on that
  • acidic foods and drinks, including fruit, juice,
    and coffee
  • biting down when eating
  • Occasionally a tooth may be sensitive for reasons
    other than the filling technique. If the
  • sensitivity grows later, such as within a few
    weeks or months after a dental procedure, it
    could be due to one of the following issues

Tooth abscess
  • A tooth abscess is an infection in the nerve of
    the tooth. A very bottomless cavity, gum
  • disease, or a cracked tooth usually causes an
    abscess.
  • Symptoms of a tooth abscess include
  • a severe toothache
  • sensitivity
  • redness on the gums
  • a bad taste in the mouth
  • a pimple- or boil-like bump on the gums
  • fever
  • A tooth abscess requires medical care. A person
    who notices these symptoms should see a doctor
    or dentist right away.
