Visitor asks:
Hello. Since my dentist is currently on holiday, I found you online and would like to ask you one question. Last week I went to the dentist, who extracted one tooth, treated another tooth, and placed a filling in another one. Now, after 4 days, the tooth with the filling is sensitive to cold. The sensitivity is short-lived, meaning that the pain quickly disappears. Is this normal?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Kind regards,
Miha
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The hypersensitivity is the result of mild inflammation of the dental pulp, caused by irritation of the tooth during the procedure or by the disease process in the tooth itself (dental caries). The situation is not worrying, is very common and may last for several months.
Have a nice day!
