It did seem to help some, but I don't know, maybe I'm just getting used to it. This is the first I've ever had a tooth still hurt after getting a cavity filled.

Wow, I know this reply is a bit out of date but I know what you are going thru. I went to a new dentist for my annual exam - they found five cavities?? Within a year after 10 years of none? Should have been a red flag.
This woman dentist - new to me - did the upper in the back in March, 2011 and it is still painful only when biting down. I called them and they redid the bite immediately after but it is still painful. I don't trust them anymore and I still have two cavities.
