A member asked:
Got a pit on my tooth fixed and now it's very sensitive (it never bothered me before it was fixed)?

Not Uncommon : Visit your dentist. The most common cause of post filling sensitivity is a slightly high bite on the filling, a quick adjustment usually does the trick.

Call your dentist: Filling is too high. Call your dentist so you can be seen as soon as possible to adjust the filling. Very common complication.
