At a check-up a few weeks ago, I mentioned to my dentist that I had a bit of sensitivity in a tooth, which was only triggered if I ate, for example, a sticky bun. As I don’t eat too many sticky buns, this wasn’t so much of an issue. But he x-rayed anyway, and on Friday, as well as getting a small veneer at the gumline of one tooth, he stuck in a filling on the sensitive tooth.
However, any pressure on this tooth now is now painful. For example- eating a slice of toast- its too tender on that side now. It was never like this before.
I’ve not had a filling in many many years, so can’t tell- is this normal, or should I be concerned? No infection in it that I can detect.
