I went to the dentist to have 2 cavities filled about 1 1/2 months ago. They also drilled out an old metal filling in one of my molars and replaced it with a composite. I didn't have any problems with this tooth before the new filling, but ever since, I have had very strong cold and pressure sensitivity. The pressure sensitivity is not as bad as it was a couple weeks ago, but it's still there.
Is it common for a replacement filling to be uncomfortable for this long, or am I looking at needing a root canal treatment eventually?
