I had an inlay placed, but my tooth is sensitive.

I had an inlay done 10 years ago and received a dental check-up in January. At that time, they said the inlay part had cracked and fallen out, so I had the inlay replaced.

But even at that time, my teeth were very sensitive, and they still are. I called the dentist, and they said it could last for about six months, so I'm just bearing with it for now. Of course, it's much better than before, but I still feel some sensitivity when I eat or drink anything cold, even just slightly cool water or food. It's not extremely cold, just lukewarm or slightly cool, and I still feel it.

I don't want to get a crown... can it take up to a year to get better?

There are no issues other than the feeling of coldness. So, I am just waiting to see.ㅠ
