Why do I experience sesitivity 4days after getting white fillings?

white fillings are very technique sensiive.  There are as many different theories as to how is the best way to place composites as there are brands.  The most used technique is called the total etch technique, which is notorious for causing post op sensativity.  I hope your not getting white fillings on your molars?  ha.

Its possible you could be experiencing bruxism, talk to your dentist, some peopple who are overly stressed or have parasites can have this.

Okay, this is going to sound disgusting, but does it look like a ball of pasta? Does it have a bad odor?  I'm not sure how old you are but I too had a period where this was happening to me all the time.\n\nIt still occurs every now and then (during allergy season primarily) but not with the frequency it once did. It's been said that it is a build up of plaque (the same that covers your teeth) that accumulates.\n\nJust keep up with the oral hygiene.  It will pass.\n\nIt's freaky, but it won't hurt you.

You're lucky.  (considering that I had to get 5 wisdom teeth out) No joke!  The dentist were looking at my x-rays and they were calling other dentists in the office and they were looking at the x-rays laughing and then they told me I had 5 to get out... I didn't think that was possible... but I'm just so sweet that I got another I guess.\n\nThe one spot that I had 2 in got infected and ended up hurting a lot.  Hang in there with the popsicles and jello and other mushy food.  You'll get through this.  The peak of swelling should be 3-4 days then after that it should be getting less swollen.

oh honey, I never liked those things, even when they weren't expired!!! All that money, time, and effort, you're better off going to your dentist to have a whitening procedure done!\n\nYes, I would stop using them immediately! See if they go away before monday, and if not, make an appt. with your dentist ASAP. \n\nGood luck!\n\nSigh.. the things we do for beauty huh! :)

your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist,  but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.

Yes, call the dentist.  It is normal to have sensitivity with a temporary crown if the tooth has not previously had a root canal but you shouldn't be having a great deal of pain.  Also, if you had the crown done last week then that's 4 weeks it's taking for the permanent crown to come back in from the lab... that's insane... it generally takes no more than 2 weeks.

Maybe you have some infection under a tooth or other problems, see a dentist...;

Some whitening toothpastes are more abrasive and can wear down the enamel of your teeth causing more sensitivity. Because the enamel is being brushed away, it can also cause darkening/yellowing of the teeth since the second layer of a tooth is dentin and has a darker color.\n\nSome mouthwashes have a high content of alcohol and is not recommended for recovering alcoholics. Also, it can be very irritating and can cause the inside of your cheeks to slough off.

well. white fillings are bonded in. silver ones are held in by undercuts so you dentist felt it would hold better. if it is that big, you needed a crown not a filling. anyway....it sounds like you fractured your tooth, if so and the fracture goes to pulpal floor (where crown meets roots) it is nonrestorable. even a root canal wont help. go back to your dentist.

I have an allergy to metal as well.  Mine is not as severe as yours seems to be though.  My jeans button breaks me out but only in the immediate contact area.  I also cannot wear hypo-allergenic jewellry.  I can wear real gold but that's it.  I have metal fillings and have no problem, they do not come into contact with any skin.  I would like to tell you my experience with the other kind of fillings though, the white kind you can't really see.  That's the only kind my dentist likes to use.  When she gave me those my tooth never quit hurting.  They drilled it back out and used metal to refill it.  I will not use anything but a metal filling from now on.  The dentist told me that some people can't tolerate the other kind.   ???   Good luck.

If you are not happy with your dentist, shop around a little bit.  You'll probably find several other offices in your area that you will be happy with.\n\nIf your teeth are sensitive, it could be an indication of many things:\n1. Grinding (are your teeth chipped, worn down, etc?)\n2. de-mineralization (teeth whitening, cola-drinking, acid-reflux?)\n3. natural sensitivity.\n\nAsk a dentist you trust about MI-Paste.  It is a topical milk protein based mineral supplement that replaces minerals lost in the enamel of your teeth.  It tastes like yogurt.  Dentists generally use this after bleaching procedures in the office to replace minerals and reduce sensitivity.\n\nGood luck!

Because you have nerves that go into your teeth.  When you have your teeth done, the nerves can become irritated.  It usually goes away pretty quick.

it doesnt matter whether its 3 teeth or 13 that are getting filled on the same day - your mouth will feel pretty much the same. The sensation will return a few hours later than usual because they will have to numb your entire mouth as opposed to just one side, etc. But other than that you will have to be careful for a few days to chew very selectively and slowly - because it will be harder to get used to the new levels of your teeth (fillings have sealants placed on top of them to make sure they stay in place longer and those sealants may feel really high to you for a day or two)

it could be ulcerated or even injured from something you ate. if the symptoms remain after a few more days i would advise contacting your dentist and having him look at the area.

yes, i had this problem about 6 years ago when I got a white filling and I had to get it changed to a silver one due to it causing me a lot of pain.\nIn march this year, I got 3 white fillings and already they have started to break off.\nI think they are weaker than the silver fillings and when I finally get to see a dentist, I will be asking for the silver ones again
