Why does my tooth feel sensitive after getting a filling?

Why does my tooth feel sensitive after getting a filling?

It is quite common for a tooth to feel sensitive after a filling, particularly if the cavity was deep. The deeper the decay, the closer the filling is to the nerve inside the tooth, which can result in temporary sensitivity while the tooth settles and recovers. During treatment, the tooth is also cleaned and prepared, which may temporarily irritate the nerve. Sensitivity to cold, pressure, or biting is therefore not unusual after the procedure and often improves gradually over time. However, if the decay was very deep or close to the nerve, the sensitivity may persist longer and, in some cases, further treatment such as root canal therapy may be required. If the sensitivity does not improve within the first week, it is important to have the tooth reviewed.

Developed in Europe as the affordable and less invasive alternative to traditional porcelain veneers, GlamSmile veneers are like ordinary porcelain veneers, except for the fact that they are extremely thin, similar to a contact lens, and highly durable. The treatment therefore requires little or no shaving or cutting into healthy tooth tissue to make space for the veneers in most cases.
