Hi
About a year ago I want to the dentist and had a rct on the right side
depest tooth and I think 3 filling (composite) on that same side.  This
side seems to be ok but next visit I got the left side 4 fillings on
top/bottom back teeth for cavities.  There was no pain before on that
side but now there is always pain there when I put pressure on it.
Also it's very sensitive to cold.  I went back and the dentist said the
fillings might be to large and close to the nerve, and will need RCT.
I decided to wait and see if it got any better and It did slightly.  I
havent eaten on that side for almost a year now and I do notice an
improvemnet.  Before the pain was throbing now just just a slight sore
pinch if pressured.  Also they are all still sensitive to cold.  Maybe
the nerves are dying?   But IIt's been bothering me lately and I was
looking into my mouth to see what tooth is hiting what and I noticed
that The bite is very uneven.  The left is way higher that the Right.
I think this could be putting added pressure to weak teeth and
exasterbating the problem.  When I say higher I mean I can't chew on
the right side w/o the left side grinding on each other.  Also  I can't
sleep on my left side face causes it puts to much pressure and I wake
up with a sore mouth.  I got a peice of paper and bite down on it and
you can tell there is more indentation on the left vs right.  should I
get the teeth ground down a bit?  I relly wan't to avoide a costly RCT
with Caps.  What do you think?

Who knows from a monitor, but it sounds like you need more RCT

Could also be fractured teeth which would also necessitate RCT.

I would check the occluding also.

Parafunction ?
