Post operative sensitivity can continue for a few days and if it does not subside, it has to be evaluated for the reason. It could be a defect in the filling or the fact that Irreversible damage to the nerves had already taken place which could not have been evaluated clinically and this is not an uncommon scenario.

Post operative sensitivity is common especially after deep fillings have been placed. Many factors can cause these and it is a widely studies topic. I always warn my patient of sensitivity up to 2 weeks after a deep filling. If they are not resolved, the type of filling may be replaced with new ones. Depending on the proximity to the nerve, you may eventually require root canal treatment.
Next Steps
Return to your dentist for further assessment.
