Hi Stacy,
Yea, it's a little more involved than just touching your teeth with ice. There are certain areas of the tooth that the cold is applied to and it is purposely kept there until the patient responds. Teeth can generally take some degree of cold without any reaction as in eating cold foods.
Was the cavity deep or the filling deep?

I will try to post the Xray.
I guess instead of an RC would be to have the tooth extracted. But my wisdom teeth were impacted by bone and they are gone, so I only have tooth #2 on the upper right.
