Is this normal? I had a filling last week, as i had a little crack tooth. My tooth is still sentitive after a filling. When i only drink cold drink. It is not as bad, like last week.
I went back to my dentist on Wednesday to make sure, everything was ok etc. My dentist told me it will take couple of weeks to settle down etc.
any replies back Many thanks..

I had a cracked tooth once, and I went through a filling first (will no relief), then a root canal (with no relief again), and finally I told my dentist to just pull the tooth (because I couldn't take the pain anymore). If you haven't felt any better results by Monday go back again, or seek another dentist. I was told that once you have a cracked tooth, there's basically nothing they can do for it. Have it pulled--if it's in an unnoticeable area (mine was the very back tooth), before you go through all of the pain and expense I did.

Your teeth'll take a while to settle down after being filled. They're more sensitive for a couple of weeks, depending on how deep the filling was.
Try using a little clove oil (a natural dental anaesthetic) on it in the short term while they settle back to normal. They do shift a tiny bit too, when the amalgam is put in and they'll need time to adjust to that.
Long term, use a fluoride mouthwash or gel to help remineralise the enamel and block off the tiny tubules which form in the teeth as a result of general wear and tear.
Good luck!

Going to a dentist would only ruin your teeth. I had a tooth filling 25 years ago and it is the only tooth that broke into small & small pieces and left a big gap in my left lower jaw. This gap is getting filled with food particles and used to give me frequent pain. Therefore I resisted going back to dentist and started using Ayurvedic tooth powder and all the problems got solved. Today I am using the VICCO Laboratories Vajrdhanti tooth paste and I am problem free for the past 15 years using the same.

all it is, is that your root nerves in your tooth are close to the filling so it is v sensitive your dentist is right it shall calm down over the next week, but if it is still bad after another week i would go back and tell them good luck, try using a sensitive tooth paste

I am not meaning to scare you - BUT - i had a filling once and it took about 3months to settle down
I have had others - and it didn't take more than a few weeks!
My advice, eat soft food (no hard sweets and things) and no ice cream or anything too cold for a little while
If it pesists - try using a sensitive toothpaste for a while

It will take a while to settle down. I have sensitive teeth at times, and I can really recommend the sensitive toothpastes eg. Sensodyne! They really really work! Try it!

I'm not sure I agree. He wouldn't want to admit it if he's scr**ed up so you might want to ask someone professionally qualified. It could be a small infection requiring anti-bios but if he's not going to tell you, who is.
I shall be watching your answers like a hawk cos i got a problem looming on the horizon.
