On Mar 2 I got two fillings, the first I've ever had (it was quite embarrassing because I felt like I'd been a bad patient, but my dentist told me my molars are shaped with very deep grooves and I'm much more prone to cavities, despite my efforts) and one of them was much deeper than expected. I would say only one of the "corners" of it remained its natural height, and the filling took a long time to complete.
After the filling, I followed their advice and have been using an electric toothbrush, sensitive toothpaste (for the last few days, not the month) and flossing 2x daily, mouth washing 2x daily as well. Problem is, I've noticed my back tooth seems temperature-sensitive again. I drank coffee tonight, only slightly hotter than normal and now it feels like a dull, throbbing pain. I called and left a message about it because I was told 2-4 weeks of sensitivity was normal and I'm only slightly over that limit, but I'm panicking and dunno if I should be.
