Is it normal for other teeth to be sensitive after you get one of your back teet!
Question: I had a large filling in my bottom pre-molar on the left today but all my other teeth are healthy. Obviously it's a little sensitive and the one above it is a bit too I guess because it gets hit by the tools a little. But now my two front teeth feel sensitive - is it normal for teeth so far away to feel sensitive after a filling that isn't near them? The front tooth on the left is a little more sensitive than the right. The enamel has been a little thin looking on those two teeth but my dentist wasn't worried.

i haven't heard any patients with this problem before. give it a week, if they are still sensitive, see your dentist again. also, the tooth above the pre-molar that you had filled may be sensitive because the filling is too high and may need to be filed down a little bit more. if it becomes painful, see your dentist.
It could be sympathy pain or did they clean your teeth? Mine were sore last time after they cleaned them - because it is scrappy and then that freezing cold water stuff.... I'm getting butterflys just thinking about it :-(
normal.
