Sometimes after dental treatment, teeth are sensitive to hot and cold. This shouldn't last long, but only if the mouth is kept clean. if the mouth is not kept clean the sensitivity will remain and could become more severe. If your teeth are especially sensitive consult with Dr. Herrin. He may recommend a medicated toothpaste or mouth rinse made especially for sensitive teeth.

Persistent sensitivity maybe exacerbated by clenching and grinding of your teeth.
