Default Pain 5 days after cavity filling

I had a cavity filling done earlier this week. There was previously and old filling there that may have come off, developed a cavity again and has to get it filled again. All I had a few days after the procedure was sensitivity to hot and cold which I was told was normal. I had to go back 4 days later because there was a jagged edge cutting into my tongue. After the dentist polished it down I had pain develop which continued to come back after the Advil I took wore off. I went back to my dentist this morning and she took an X-ray and said the filling is deep but not to the point where it would affect anything, and wants me to see an endodontist. Has anyone else experienced this before and did the pain end up settling down? I really do not want a root canal- the last two root canals I had eventually failed and I ended up having to get those teeth extracted.

Default Same thing happened to me

I had absolutely no pain in my tooth. My dentist said something similar to yours, I had an old filling that had decayed further and he wanted to fill it. Well from day one, I experienced the same thing, extreme sensitivity to cold (which he said was normal). The pain never went away and got worse and worse. I did end up having to get a root canal, that got infected and I ended up having to get the tooth pulled. This tooth was towards the front and is very visible. I now have to get an implant. I regret having this filling done as the tooth never bothered me prior to this. Was this a white filling? I have done some research on white fillings after this happened to me and it is quite common for people to have issues with them. They do cause sensitivity and from what I have read it is not uncommon for people to need root canals after receiving these fillings. Good luck to you!
