My back molar had a hairline fracture which caused lots of pain, sensitivity etc. My dentist did a new filling and sealed the crack. He said usually that would work, but could be irreversible pulpitis.
Although the pain and sensitivity have gone, there is still a little line of redness at gum ( which isn't usually there) and a slightly sensitive spot when brushing. I'm wondering if the pain has disappeared as the nerve has died completely or the bite is not quite right or it needs more time ( now around 3 and a half weeks).
I'm cautiously eating on it, but very worried it'll have to be removed. I'd welcome any help.
Nothing showed on the xray eg absess or pulpitis and crack only showed on photo, not the xray.
I've no fever, lymph nodes, obvious problems with it.
