Visitor asks:
Hello.
Two months ago I had a "two-surface" white filling placed on my first molar. The caries was between the first and second molars (my teeth are crowded), and in my opinion it was therefore treated too late (for half a year I kept asking my dentist, but she said "there is nothing there"). I would now like to know:
a) How long is the tooth sensitive to loading? I have had an unpleasant sensation for the second month already, but the doctor says this is normal.
b) Is it true that after signing the declaration for a chosen dentist one cannot transfer to another for one month? As I understand it, you also work under a concession – in that case I therefore cannot register with you for one year?
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Hypersensitivity of teeth to changes in osmotic pressure and temperature changes after replacement of a filling is quite a common problem. The hypersensitivity can last for several months. If the tooth also becomes sensitive to pressure or tapping, this means that the dental pulp is inflamed throughout and that the inflammation has already spread to the periodontal ligament. The condition is irreversible and requires root canal treatment.
After signing the declaration for a chosen dentist, another dentist should not be selected for one year.
Have a nice day!
