Tingling and pain after filling
I had gone through composite filling on the right upper first molar.
After filling its been almost three weeks..
But while brushing I feel tingling and a little pain.feels like the nerve gets bothered.
When I rub my finger around the filling part I feel the tingling and mild pain. It's same pain when during drilling the tooth I felt when the doctor drilled little deeper.
The cavity was deep. Is it the sign for root canal?
During the session eight teeth went through filing all were upper and lower molars and out of which my lower right first molar was a rct.
First picture us before filling of my teeth.
Second is the rct of my tooth

First... You need to get all your wisdom teeth extracted. Second, you need to get an IOPA (x-ray) taken of the upper right 1st molar. If there is a hint of pulpal exposure, you need to get RCT done in that tooth.
Next Steps
Consult your dentist, and get an IOPA taken
Health Tips
In the meantime, you can use Sensodent K Plus toothpaste, and use Senquel AD Mouthwash. Use both twice daily.

Hello. If after a dental filling, tooth pain persist then most likely the tooth will require a root canal followed by a cap. Visit your dentist at the earliest. Happy to help. Dr Zankhana Mody Mohile
