If the filling was particularly deep and got close to the nerve, it can be sensitive for several weeks, sometimes even several months. The key is to determine if there is any improvement over time. If the sensitivity seems to be getting less severe, even a little, that is a good sign. That usually means the tooth is healing and should be allowed to continue. If there does not appear to be any improvement after several months, it may mean that the nerve was damaged, or the tooth is fractured, and the tooth may require a root canal treatment or extraction. If you have concerns, it is best to talk with your dentist. Follow-up care (i.e., evaluating the post-op pain) is included in the fee you paid. ******the filling is an " almalgam" made up of various compounds. (including a TINY amount of Mercury) they do seem to attract cold, hot, sweet etc. Depending on the amount of work done, the weird sensations may last a while. If they last a long time, do, as said above, contact you dentist
