Tooth sensitivity after filling
After a filling, it’s common to experience sensitivity in your tooth. This may be triggered by pressure, air exposure, and cold and sweet foods – but not for long! Usually, within a few weeks, the discomfort should subside on its own; until then, do what you can to avoid the causes of this sensitivity without relying on pain relief medications.
Insurance and Cost
At Vista Dental, we take into account a variety of factors when determining costs for dental fillings – from size and extent of decay to your insurance coverage benefits. Our staff would be more than happy to review these details with you prior to any procedure so that you can make informed decisions about how best to use your resources in obtaining top-notch oral health care services.
