Anyway, now I have another question for you.

My new crown is on the back upper molar, tooth #2, right next to an extraction area.

While it was being cleaned and prepped for seating today, it was very sensitive. I did ask the dentist if she got near the nerve when drilling, and she said yes, but hopefully not too close.

Now that it's on, I still have sensitivity to cold and hot fluids, even the air! So, my question - Is this normal and for how long could this last?

This is why I hate getting crowns, I'm always so worried that the dentist will drill too much and get too close to the nerve.

Again, what's your experience with this? Thank you!!
