The last fillings I had were also white fillings, and I was sensitive to cold for quite a long time. I started using Sensodyne last time, and that seemed to help.
Could another possibility be, that my bite is off?
I might need to just make another appointment and go see him, but the last thing I want is a root canal.

If it hurts when you're lying down it ain't a good sign, especially if it's waking you up in the middle of the night,. Does it also throb when you run or work out (ie. when you get your blood pumping?)
Sorry bud, these signs point to a root canal in your future. To be fair to your doc, if you needed a pulp cap that means that he felt that the nerve had been "insulted" and by capping it instead of going straight to the root canal, he was trying to be conservative and save you some bucks too.
Thanks Lebell. Pleasure's mine.
