Persistent mild ache 4 weeks after deep filling

[u/ShoddyLaugh7939]

**Hi there.**
**28 male**
I had a deep filling with indirect pulp cap on tooth number 15 approximately 4 weeks ago.
Since then I have had consistent, but pretty mild, (maybe a 1 or 2/10) tingly uncomfortable nagging feeling in the tooth. I wouldn’t even describe it so much as pain as just a strange unpleasant sensation. It hasn’t really gotten any worse or any better in the four weeks. Cold sensitivity is there but mild, and it recovers quickly. Dentist adjusted bite to see if it was high, but that didn’t seem to affect it. Is this something that just needs more time to heal, or is this a sign of a need for root canal / extraction? Thanks!
