Why is my tooth still sensitive about 5 weeks after a filling?

July 27, 2018
Asked By:Mia Whales

I got my tooth filled because I had a very bad cavity. The doctor said it was a deep filling. It’s been about 5 weeks but my tooth still seems to bother me with things that are cold. Is this something I should be worried about, or is this normal when you get a deep filling?
