Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a filling done last week on my distal lateral incisor. It was pretty sensitive for a few days but it dissipated. This morning, after I brushed and flossed, the sensitivity to cold air returned and was getting progressively worse with throbbing and a headache. I took four 200 mg Ibuprofen which is stopping the throbbing. Is sensitivity like this normal? No allergies, no medications, 5'3'' height, weight 115.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. I think there is a breach or dislodging of filling. You need to visit the dentist again and get a dental X-ray (IOPAR) done. It is reversible pulpitis and you will feel pain and sensitivity. Use fluoridated toothpaste and take Aceclofenac 200 mg twice daily till you visit the dentist.
