Sensitivity after Fillings..How long?

    Hi all,

    Sorry if this has been done to death, I know it may have been. I got 2 fillings in my lower left molars two weeks ago. Since then, they have settled in fine I think but they are still fairly sensitive. So much to the point that when eating, I can only chew on the right hand side of my mouth and if I try chewing on side with the fillings, it's ridiculously sensitive (not sore I must point out, just sensitive). It's fairly ok if it's soft food (banana, porridge, mashed potato etc.) but it's a killer when eating more crunchy food.

    Is it normal for them to be this sensitive two weeks after getting them? I mean, I know it would be that way after a few days/a week but it's been 2 weeks now since I got them and they're till this way. Is it something that will go away eventually or is it something worth going back to the dentist for do you think?
    Am heading to Australia in two weeks so I'm thinking if I'm to go back to the dentist about it, I better go now before I head off. Otherwise, should I just get on with it and just hope it'll go away in time?

    Any help/advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    No, make an appointment to see your dentist asap. It may be something or nothing to sort, but Australian dental fees are substantially higher than Irish ones....
