Filling replaced 6 weeks ago, back molar. Was sore for longer than usual (I have many fillings and don’t remember them taking this long).
Went back after 2 weeks as bite felt off and there was sensitivity when flossing between teeth (filling was between teeth). She did a bit of filing down but generally couldn’t see much wrong. Bite still felt off but then magically fixed itself after another week or so, assume I must have been holding my jaw in a strange way as I was having a lot of jaw/ear ache and I still felt mildly numb like all the anaesthetic hadn’t worn off even after weeks.
Finally, jaw and bite feel fine.
Tooth mostly fine now, not sensitive to hot and only mildly sensitive to cold. Not particularly sensitive to pressure but very “aware” of the tooth after eating. Just a mild, dull ache that lasts less than 30mins.
Had some sensitivity in it yesterday but went away after a couple of pain killers.
Not affecting my sleep at all, but today keep thinking I can feel an ache now and again that lasts a matter of seconds. Still sensitive to floss between but nothing unbearable.
I know I should discuss this with the dentist but it is quite far from where I live and my anxiety about going back is something I’m struggling to work through at the moment.
But should I be going back?
