My dentist said the filling is deep. But every time eat or drink something cold my lower jaw seems to hurt really bad. Is it always going to be like this?

Answer: Dental fillings and dental bonding Sometimes teeth stay sensitive after getting a new filling. This happen often after treating teeth with deep cavities. A previously infected tooth pulp many not recover with treatment. Another common reason is a high bite on the new filling. Consult with your dentist about the sensitivity. Good luck.

Answer: Pretty common The closer proximity you get to the nerve when doing a procedure...the less insulation there is for the nerve (bite and temperature). Sometimes, it just takes a little while for the reparative functions of the tooth to kick in. I always tell patients that as long as they think it's getting slightly, slightly better each day to hold off. In the absence of your bite being off, typically this reversible pulpitis will calm down.
