Question 1

got a deep filling 3 months ago in a molar & tooth was completely fine until one week ago, extreme sensitivity while having hot or cold drinks, no problem while chewing. i wear a mouth guard too at night for grinding, can that put pressure?

Accepted Answer

: Did the dentist tell you that the cavity was deep and near the nerve, and if it acts up in the future you will need a root canal?. You have the situation of hot and cold sensitivity, that are the signs that you need a root canal if you want to save your tooth. The night guard is to prevent you from grinding your teeth and wearing away the enamel. Get a root canal or you will lose your tooth.

Question 2

is it normal for my tooth to be sensitive to pressure after crown?

Accepted Answer

No: First, have your dentist double check the bite. Secondly, if your tooth was crowned because of a crack, it might be possible that the crack had already caused irreversible nerve damage. Sometimes a crown alone won't solve the problem of a cracked tooth and root canal treatment is then needed to get rid of any uncomfortable symptoms.

Question 3

need help. i've got a tooth that was sensitive to cold for a few days. now it has a little pressure on it?

Accepted Answer

If you mean: Pain by the term pressure - would encourage you to have the tooth checked by your dentist.

Question 4

tooth sensitive to cold, sweets, pressure. is that a cavity?

Accepted Answer

Very likely: Those symptoms are in fact characteristic of a advanced decay resulting in inflammation of the central tissue of the tooth from bacterial invasion to the tubules ahead of the open cavity. The pressure sensitivity when biting suggest that central tissue inflammation has spread to the ligament that holds the tooth in the bone.  Please see a dentist quickly and get a pulp vitality test and x-ray.

Question 5

tooth is pressure sensitive after composite filling, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Somewhat: Call your dentist, explain the problem and asked to be seen to check the bite and re-evaluate the tooth. A simple bite adjustment often remedies that situation.

Question 6

toothache on applying pressure on that tooth.also the tooth has become sensitive to hot and cold foods.how do i get rid of the pain and sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

: THE NERVE IN YOUR TOOTH IS INFECTED DUE TO A LARGE CAVITY OR TRAUMA TO THE TOOTH. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE TOOTH THAN YOU NEED A ROOTCANAL OR AN EXTRACTION. SEE YOUR DENTIST NOW TO SEE IF YOUR TOOTH CAN BE SAVED WITHOUT THE PREVIOUS METHODS.

Question 7

could a crown lengthening procedure alleviate pain around a tooth? tooth already had rct and currently has a temp crown. pain feels like gum pain between teeth. not sensitive to hot/cold or pressure and the bite has been checked?

Accepted Answer

: Obviously not sensitive to hot/cold since the tooth had root canal therapy. If you have periodontal pocketing and the crown lengthening procedure alleviates the food/bacterial trap you should see relief. Very slight chance of a fracture since not sensitive to pressure, but you never know. If the tooth had 50% bone loss or more, consider an implant root replacement.

Question 8

two bumps below my one ear sensitive to pressure, hurt very slightly after touching & moving head to sides. no cold or tooth pain.should see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Could be infected lymph nodes, cysts, boils, or other problems.  You need to be examined.  See your Physician.

Question 9

why am i feeling pressure in my teeth when chewing?

Accepted Answer

Bruxism/Clenching: Could be you are inadvertetly grinding your teeth as in clenching, grinding hs as in broxism, fractures and dental/ginval disease.  See a good dentist!

Question 10

i fulfill my teeth with composite material and i can't  chew and i have pain and feeling pressure to all of my teeth after 2 weeks, teeth number6?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: Your tooth could hurt for many reasons, none are good or normal. If your tooth is still sensitive after 2 weeks or more, or if the pain gets worse or more intense, you should check your tooth by your dentist.
