Composite filling question

[jh293]

Hi all,

I recently had a composite filling (on Tuesday) and had a question relating to it. It doesn't hurt as such, but when I grind the tooth with others it feels slightly sensitive.

I was wondering if was to be expected with a composite filling and will go away after a few more days?


Thanks,
Jon

Yes I had the same experience and the sensitivity went after 2-3 weeks

Hi Jon,

I could be that it will settle down. However, it might be that the "bite" on this filling needs adjusting. This would involve grinding a faction of the top of the filling. No injections are needed and it would take a few minutes and then the tooth should settle rapidly.
So, if it does not settle over the weekend, get it checked.
Hope this helps
