Hello! I have got my tooth 36 composite filling replaced for the third time yesterday, with in a year!
During first filling it was diagnosed that it had recurrent caries. Because it was causing a lot of pain on biting hard or crunchy food. Same problem persisted with the second filling too! Some times I feel mild pulsation in it. Went to dentist to get it checked for high spots but no use.
I got my 36 filling restored again with composite 2 days back but its still sensitive although much better then before but I am still not able to eat crispy stuff because it’s cause pain on chewing some time. It’s becoming a nuisance as I am not able to eat from that side except for soft food. There is no hot or cold sensitivity. But when I apply remineralizing tooth paste on that tooth it feels we’re sensitive n some times I feel it pulsate too! Please suggest me what should be done? Should i wait for 2more week to see if it settles or should I go for an RCT? This tooth is over erupted too.

You really need a second opinion

As you suspect there could be an abscess which RCT would treat but could be cracked tooth or inflamed periodontal ligament which would require occlusal adjustment (equilibration) to reduce load or crown to prevent Cuspal flexing
