Dental Insurance Plus, Dental pain after having a filling.
Recently I had to have two filling in my top back teeth. I did not have dental insurance at the time and had to pay cash. When I got him the Novacain started to wear off and I started to notice that my teeth with the new filling where now extremely sensitive to the touch.
When I those teeth with my tongue or bite into any food it hurts, but when I am doing nothing, they do not hurt. I called my dentist and he said that they were just sensitive because of the fillings and that if it does not go away in a week then I may need a root canal. I was also advise to get dental insurance since if I do need a root canal I will also need to have a crown.
Is this is normal? I do not think it’s normal because prior to having the filings I did not have any dental pain.
