Why are newly filled cavities sensitive? Occasionally when filling a cavity too much tooth structure is replaced causing you to bite heavily on the new filling causing pain. The purpose of the marking paper you bite on when the filling is being adjusted is meant to prevent heavy occlusion, though sometimes it can happen in spite of it.

What is a Filling? When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).

Most people experience mild to severe toothache after a filling treatment. Sometimes the tooth also becomes extra sensitive after it. Your affected tooth may experience sensitivity to air, pressure, sweet foods, cold foods, or temperature after the procedure.

What's the best treatment for a chipped molar with no nerve exposure and no pain? If the chip is small, you are not feeling any pain, and no nerve is exposed, it is possible for a tooth-colored bonded composite filling to be placed to repair the chipped area. However, depending on where the chip is located, how your bite looks, and what shows up on the x-ray of that tooth, the best long-term solution could possibly be a crown. The potential problem with placing a filling in a chipped tooth that would be better served by a crown is that over time, the stresses of your bite and other forces on the tooth may cause the tooth the crack or chip even worse.

The tooth may be a little sensitive for up to 2 weeks but should settle down after that. Some teeth have no sensitivity at all and that will depend a lot on the size and depth of the filling. Let the dentist know that you are nervous and not sure what to expect.
