text: my tooth is still sensitive after a filling!? is this normal? i had a filling last week, as i had a little crack tooth. my tooth is still sentitive after a filling. when i only drink cold drink. it is not as bad, like last week.   i went back to my dentist on wednesday to make sure, everything was ok etc. my dentist told me it will take couple of weeks to settle down etc.  any replies back many thanks.. i had a cracked tooth once, and i went through a filling first (will no relief), then a root canal (with no relief again), and finally i told my dentist to just pull the tooth (because i couldn't take the pain anymore).  if you haven't felt any better results by monday go back again, or seek another dentist.  i was told that once you have a cracked tooth, there's basically nothing they can do for it.  have it pulled--if it's in an unnoticeable area (mine was the very back tooth), before you go through all of the pain and expense i did.
