RCT and dental filling
Hi doctor,
Recently I had re rct of 4 and 5 of left upper side. 6th is dental filling. After RCT and crown I had sensitivity of tooth in dental filling and slightly pain in RCT. I visited doctor and he told about high points in crown. Also, he said sensitivity is because of crowns high points(he corrected it). Now I am using toothpaste for sensitivity prescribed by him. Sensitivity is little reduced.
I am not comfortable eating in left side because I feel like RCT is not strong enough to eat roti or raw vegetables (no pain). How long it will take to adjust or do I need to visit dentist for further check up or medicine. Please advise.

It should settle in a week or two. But if it doesnt, an x ray is recommended as to see if any pulpal investment has happened. Also get an electric pulp testing done to see vitality of hyperactivity of the teeth nerve and blood tissue.

Usually it should settle down in 2 weeks. If it doesnt, an xray and clinical examination may be required to see if your sensitivity is referred from other teeth and if your filling and root canal are good.
Sometimes some fillings can cause sensitivity which settles down in 2 weeks else it may need to be changed
