Hi there...My dentist sanded down my bottom right tooth, to make my bite right: after I had a top front crown put on...now I have a constant achiness and tingling in that sanded tooth. This bottom tooth wasn't sanded down a whole lot...and I was wondering if a dental sealant would/could help with the sensitivity/tingling in that bottom tooth?
 
Dentist would need to drill into your tooth a little more in order to then seal it with enough thickness to last.
If you wait a couple of months it will most likely go away on its own.
You can also use toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
