I’ve Had A Composite Filling And Now I Suffer From Sensitivity. Is This Normal?
Q.
Hello Dr Moore. I have had a composite filling along and below the gum line of my bottom back molar as the gum has receded. Since having had this done I’ve suffered with high sensitivity so now can’t even use mouthwash as it is hyper-sensitive. Is this normal with this type of treatment? I’m worried about brushing it as it’s already fallen out four times and every time I go back, the dentist is having to grind a bit more of my tooth in order for the filling to stick. I’d really like some help with this. Thank you for your time.
