Answer: Not Uncommon It is not uncommon to have temporary sensitivity after any dental procedure. General recommendation is to give it 2 weeks after the procedure to subside, but if it persists beyond to follow up with the doctor and make any necessary repairs or adjustments. These may include an adjustment of the height or bulk of the composite bonding that may be prematurely colliding or rubbing with the opposing tooth. Another possibility is hypersensitivity, which can be managed with various toothpastes. Sensodyne toothpaste now has a paste called Rapid Relief, as well as Tom's of Maine has a Rapid Relief Paste which does not contain fluoride. Another option is MI Paste. Another alternative is to simply remove and replace that existing bonding, which may have been contaminated with moisture during the process which an interfere with proper , residual decay, or an opening/gap between the bonding and the tooth.

Answer: Sensitivity After Bonding Ocassionaly, I will get sensitivity after completing a patients care. First I ask my patients to return to my office and I check their bite and recure the bonding-sometimes you are so numb that once you are back to normal your bite can be off! Sometimes the patients have deep cavities and may need a root canal. Call your dentist and ask them what they do!

Answer: Sensitivity after bonding Sensitivity after bonding can be due to a variety of causes. When a patient voices such a concern, my first recommendation is to check the bite. If the filling was placed such that it does not contact the opposing tooth at precisely the same instant as the surrounding teeth, it will become sensitive. A simple one minute adjustment will fix the problem. If the adjustment does not eliminate the sensitivity, then I suggest that the patient wait as long as several months for the tooth to calm down. In the center of each tooth is a pulp that includes blood vessels. Drilling the tooth can cause an irritation and inflammation in the pulp which recognize as a sensitive tooth. If after a few months and the inflammation has not subsided, then I replace the filling. Perhaps there is a micro gap along the side of the filling or an air bubble down deep in the filling. If this does not eliminate the problem, the perhaps the pulp is infected and needs to be removed with what is called a "root canal procedure". Before recommending a root canal procedure, I first eliminate all other possible causes for the sensitivity.
