Dear Sir/Madam
I follow you on Facebook and would also like to ask for advice. On 14 September my filling was replaced because the old one was chipped. Since then the tooth hurts when pressure is applied. When I try to bite, it feels as if I am pressing on a nerve. What should I do? Thank you! Erika
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the tooth is sensitive only when pressure is applied to the filling, the filling needs to be replaced. If the tooth is painful under pressure at other points as well and is also sensitive to percussion, root canal treatment will probably be necessary.
Have a nice day!
