Post filling sensitivity

2024-06-02 15:59:36
Sharp Tooth sensitivity on the upper molar for almost 2 months( while chewing hard to semi hard foods on that composite filled area, mild sensitivity to cold or hot foods even water that lingers for 3-4 secs). Sensitivity lasts for a few seconds only and often adjacent tooth also gets sensitive with it. I went to the dentist and had my bite adjusted still no improvement and I am currently taking neurobian forte for 20 days. The cavity was not that deep as it was diagnosed clinically and not detected in my xray. What should be my next steps? Is it serious? Or will it resolve on its own?

Use desensitizing paste...if not resolved then go for re- filling of the tooth because there may be some gap left between filling and tooth
