A member asked:
I just had a filling redone and a teeth cleaning, as well as infection control/barrier techniques. how long do the teeth stay sensitive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Day or two...: Without more details, I suggest NSAID's prn and it should resolve in 24-48 hours. The sensitivity is usually due to the soft tissue trauma from the procedure(s).
