Sensitivity on chewing after filling

2024-06-30 15:24:15
3 month continuous sensitivity only while chewing hard to semi hard foods only on that filled part. Sensitivity to water or sudden temperature changes. Lasts dor few seconds.  Applying sensodyne and it is improving but the sensitivity is still there. Bite test is okay, no high points. Main question is do i need a RCT in any scenario or wait and see? And is the filling anywhere near pulp or deep enough?

Hello You might need an x-ray called RVG to know the position of the tooth and if it is not severe, then it might need dental filling. If not, you might have to go for root canal treatment followed by crown.

Hi First of all, I would like to say that the Xray you have shared is not clear. You might get another Rvg or an OPG. From what your complaint is looks like Rct is unavoidable, but can be delayed, depending on your symptoms
Next Steps
Share another X-ray
Health Tips
Don’t eat much from that side

It could be due to any other cavity around the tooth ... only the upper surface image won't work alone. Also the gums could be below the normal level.
Next Steps
Get an IOPA done and send the latest IOPA x ray pic
Health Tips
Avoid extra sweet foods

Hi, When did you get the filling done? Check for any teeth decay in another tooth. Share another X-ray as this is not clear.
