You might need a root canal, more than just the filling, since the decay might be deeper into the root. Did the dentist put the permanent filling in? Sensitivity to hot and cold can indicate the need for the root canal as well. Only have an endodontist do the root canal, if possible. At least, go in for a consultation, if the pain does not subside. Does it hurt to bite down on the tooth? Another indicator for an R.C. too.
