it never hurt before he filled it but hurt to chew on for weeks afterward.
I have this problem, too -- my dentist says it's because the numbing shots, drilling and filling irritates the nerve and it takes a while for it to settle down. It happens every time I get a filling. :/
I'm curious, did yours stop when you changed dentists? This has happened to me with two different dentists.
