I would be grateful if you could give me some information on why I may be experiencing a fair amount of discomfort after I had two small Class II restorations done 10 days ago with composite resin. I have been to the dentist to make sure everything was all right, and he and the staff told me everything was fine and very much acted like it was normal to have discomfort for a few weeks to a month after composite restorations.
I am 31 years old, and have had very few (3 other) restorations done in my life, and the dental staff told me that I am perhaps just not used to the discomfort of having dental work done. This sounds a bit odd to me.
I was under the belief that modern dentistry today was virtually pain free, however after having these 2 small restorations done, I am now in week 2 of substantial discomfort.
Is it really normal and usual to experience discomfort and sensitivity after composite resin restorations are done?
I can understand the fact that after any dental work is done, some discomfort, tenderness may exist for a few hours or a day or so following the procedure, but weeks or a month as the staff at the dental office implied?
I would be most appreciative to hear your views on this. Thank you. |
