A member asked:
My dentist said a really small cavity in my molar adjacent to d recently filled one was d cause of sensitivity n throbbing pain.could it b so or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Probably not the small cavity. More likely it's reaction to the infection (cavity) and surgery (filling). May need root canal Rx. Call your Dentist and report your problems. Your Dentist will want to see you and/or refer you. Call now.
