intense tooth sensitivity months after fillings

4 months ago I got 5 small to medium composite fillings done. Since then, two of the teeth have abscessed and I had root canals done. In addition, one of those two teeth made the whole side of my face swell up and I had to go to the ER to get the infection drained. It was very painful.

That's all settled down now, but one of the other molars with a new filling has been very sensitive to cool/cold, and more recently hot. It's been sensitive like this for about 3 months, and I've gotten it tested/checked multiple times. Both my old and new dentists say there's not a visible infection on X-rays, as well as my endodontist. In the past two weeks another tooth with a filling has become sensitive to cold. Is this normal, and will these teeth ever calm down? That's now 4 of the 5 filled teeth acting up, and I'm pretty worried the two sensitive ones will need RTC soon as well.

Try to ask for a second opinion to other dentist. It's best to get advise now so that your teeth problem won't get worse. Try to call my dentist, Dr. Silvestre, here's a link to here website http://gorgeoussmiledental.com/. If you live near Newark or San Jose, CA, visit her clinic. She's nice and very gentle.
