I had my teeth cleaned in the first week of Feb 2011. The Dr said I will have some pain and hot & cold sensitivity for some time.  But I am having tooth sensitivity on my right upper tooth even now.  The filling from my upper tooth had come out about 2 years ago but I did not have any problem because of it. Is the pain due to some inadvertent mistake on the part of the Dentist or due to the method of the cleaning (laser or ultrasound - I am not sure). Can this pain be relieved ?
Hi ... Plaque has covered your teeth. And due to it your gums start receding and this lead to root exposure.roots have nerve endings .so when dentist removes plaque these ending get expose and thus on eating cold food you have sensitivity. But it will be temporary . Use R A thermostat apply on sensitive area with figure tip keep for 5 min and then do gargle. And don't Chat Doctor. .try this ... Hope you will be benefited ...
