4 days ago I had a pulp cap done. My dentist said my filling was very deep and that is why he did it. The nurse said I may have some sensitivity with cold/hot liquids or when chewing.
For the most part I have felt good. I am favoring it and trying to eat on the opposite side. I also drink from a straw when I can.
Every once in a while I feel a mild sensation in the tooth. I would say it is a very very mild pain (a 1 on a scale of 1-10) I took some advil the first time I noticed it (the day after the procedure) and until today (4th day after the procedure) I haven't noticed it again.
What is normal following a pulp cap? Should I call my dentist?
I will be out of town for 2 weeks (getting married soon) and I am leaving tonight. I have a dentist back home that I trust....do you think I should see them when I get in?
appreciate the help!
