Pain after fillings replaced with white fillings
Sensitive after composite filling is common especially after only 4
days. The bigger and deeper the filling the more chance for
sensitivity. Sensitivity should gradually go away. I recommended
spreading some tooth paste on those teeth 5 min before brushing.
Sometimes this helps.
However, pain on bitting may mean the filling is a little high and need
adjustment. If this persist past 1 week, you should have the dentist
check your occlusion on those teeth.
I don't think there is pulpal exposure. There will be constant
throbing pain.
One main advantage that composite has over amalgam is cosmetic. But
amalgam tends to be more durable, in my opinion. I have amalgam
fillings that are over 20 years old. You will be hard pressed to find
a composite filling that will last that long.
