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.
