My regular dentist recommended having my silver fillings

Q. My regular dentist recommended having my silver fillings replaced with composite fillings. They were in the back 2 teeth on both sides. I wasn’t having any problems before I went in, but the fillings were probably 35 yrs old. She had me in and out of the chair in 30 minutes for each side. I’ve read all the nightmare stories of having this done, and my teeth on the one side are still sore. Is the sensitivity normal, and when can I expect it to go away? I had a second dentist take a look for a second opinion and he says he thinks it might be okay. My bite was adjusted twice. It doesn’t hurt while I’m eating, only after I eat. I’m not sure what to do or if I should just wait it out. This was done mid July. What would you recommend? I’m really upset because I wasn’t having an issue before. Thank you, Susan

A. It does sound like an ” bite ” issue but you would need an clinical Exam
