What causes sensitivity and pain in the molar tooth that has been filled?
Patient: i waa suffering from toothache in one of my molar three wks ago. so i visited a dentist .. he prescribed me cosymoxyl 625 (2 times daily ) for 3 days after taking it for 3days i visited him again then he filled my tooth temporarily bcz there was a bit gap in my molar teeth. since then it was going fine but from yesterday eve i am feeling a bit of sensation and a light pain in the sane teeth .. what should i do.. please suggest.. Doctor: Hello and thank you for writing to us,I would like to inform you that the pain in your tooth is from the infection which has gone deep in to the tooth , therefore a temporary filling will relief pain temporarily.The symptoms presented by you suggest that you need a root canal treatment on your tooth.I will advise you to see a specialist for that.Until you see your dentist you can take pain killer for pain relief and perform warm saline rinses.I hope i answered your query.I wish you good healthThank youTake care
