Dear Dr Moore, After Visiting My Dentist For A Filling, I’ve Experienced Sensitivity. What Should I Do?

Q.

Dear Dr. Moore,

After visiting the dentist for re-filling of one of my molars which contains a rather big hole, I have been experiencing very sensitive dentine for more than 3 months. Whenever I eat hot and cold stuff, it hurts badly. I phone the dentist, he suggested me to buy a toothpaste with the brand called Sensodyne to take care of it. I did as he told me. But so far after 3 months, it improves only a little bit. I don’t want to go back to the previous dentist, because he may charge me a lot of money. What should I do? I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Hello Mark. I Don’t Know Whether To Have Root Canal Treatment Or Not. Can You Advise Me?

Q.

Hello. I have a badly decayed molar in my mouth. It is on the right side of my mouth on top; second to the last. I went to my dentist last year in October. He filled the tooth as much as he can. However, as instructed only a temporary fix until my insurance “kicked” in. He said it was badly infected at the time. It also had a huge hole from a bad filling and a cavity. He told me to get a root canal and to put a cap on it, If I choose to pull it, not advised, then all my teeth would eventually shift. I don’t have a clue what to do, either pull it or have a root canal? I have read the pros and cons for root canals. Please advise. Financially I can’t afford a root canal.

I’ve Started Feeling Some Discomfort After A Deep Cavity Filling. Is It Normal For A Cavity Filling To Take This Long To Heal?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014
Q.

I had a dentist appointment on for a cleaning. I was not experiencing any problems but my dentist said that I had 2 cavities that needed to be filled. I had those filled a week later. About two weeks later, I started feeling some discomfort, so I went back and he said the bite was off so he did some drilling and had me bite down and said it should be better. I am still experiencing the same problem. I went back a week after that and he did not do anything and told me to be patient. Is it normal for a cavity filling to take this long to heal? I hope you can help me with this.
