Temporary filling
I had a composite filling done on my moral teeth however I felt extreme sensitivity in the area for months after that and I consulted a the dentist again.
He advised me to colgate sensitive plus and i tried the same for months but to no success eventually i visited him again and he removed the composite filling and replaced it with a temporary filling and advised me to get the permanent filling done after two weeks
Please note there was no deep cavity or root canal in my teeth.
He said two months be required for developing "dating" can some one explain please I am worried
ALSO WOULD HE REMOVE MY FULL TEETH.
By developing "dating" he wanted to say developing dentine,,which is a form of tooth structure under enamel and covers the pulp.
Reason of sensitivity in a new composite restoration can be -
1) high points in the restoration
2 ) some microleakage around the restoration
3) irritation of pulp during cavity preparation or acid etching
What exactly happened in your case can't be said without clinically examining and looking at xrays and the restoration.
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist
Health Tips
temporary restorations are not meant for long duration as they don't have enough strength to handle the masticatory forces,,avoid eating from that side and get permanent filling done asap
