Tingly And Irritated Tooth, Slightly Swollen Face After Eating Lemon. History Of Fixed Teeth Cavities. Need To Go To Dentist?
Hi, recently I had my teeth (cracked cavaties) fixed and I thought this would fix the problem where if I ate sometime with citrus (lemon) it would actually feel tingely and annoying to my tooth and then the side of my face would swell up slightly. It would only last until the feelings in my tooth and then would go away. It s been doing this for some time. Should I go back to the dentist?

Hello,
From the details mentioned,its not clear whether your tooth has restored or crown has placed.
The tingling can be due to exposed dentin due to cervical abrasion or crown cutting.
Please do visit your dentist and get a thorough clinical evaluation done.
If required,tooth has to be re-filled or crown has to be replaced.
Use soft inter dental toothbrush as well as dental floss to clean your teeth.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take care.
