After filling, many people experiencesensitivity to cold, heat or even biting .
Sensitivity can arise for several reasons. The injection site may also be sensitive in the days after the filling is made, this is completely natural and will disappear within 1-2 days.
In addition, the sensitivity may be caused by the slight shrinkage in the polymerisation processes that occur during the curing of aesthetic fillers.
As the layers of sealant placed in the tooth shrink, this can result in a slight strain. This shrinkage is caused by special sealants and sealing techniques can be minimised, so that complaints can be reduced.
The most common reason for bite sensitivity (if it occurs after the filling is completed) is that the tooth filling is high. This is very easy to correct and once corrected the complaint will disappear.
But what do you do if your filling has fallen out?
If a filling has fallen out, it is advisable to visit your dentist as soon as possible our dentist. This is necessary because we may have “lost” our fillings because the underlying tooth tissue has decayed.
Even if there is no caries, whether it is an amalgam filling, an aesthetic filling or an inlay, the tooth should be restored as soon as possible, as the remaining sharp edges can break off when chewing, so a simple filling may not be a good solution.
