Patient: My incisors were decayed by worms and I had them filled a few days ago, but in the past few days I found that I can’t eat cold things, is this normal? I can’t even drink cold water, is it normal to have a filling? Wang Juncheng: Some patients may experience discomfort from hot and cold stimulation within a short period of time after the filling, which may be a mild reaction due to the stimulation of the pulp when grinding and cutting the tooth. Generally speaking, the symptoms will gradually decrease. If the symptoms do not diminish over time, it is time to see a doctor for an examination.
