dental treatments

I had all dental treatments needed finished two weaks ago - inclusive fillings, abscess and cleaning of my teeth. Since then, i have sensitivity whether im eating/drinking cold stuff or eating/drinking hot stuff. What is this? Undoubtedly, it is because of the dental treatments especially cleaning teeth followed directly by fillings and the like. What can i do? I feel this throbbing pain after i eat for 10 minutes. Then, it vanishes. It doesnt bother me alot, but i mind it.
I dont think i need to get back to the dentist. I talked to the mouth hygienist. She believes it is normal. But it has been two weeks now. I am looking for relief.

Are there other dental treatments that do the job of a porcelain overlay but are less expensive?

One of my teeth has another cavity again. Doc says if she drills the tooth it might not have a significant amount of structure left, so she wants to use a porcelain overlay. This costs 880 dollars 50% of which will be covered by insurance. Is there a similar procedure that will not cost me 440 dollars our of pocket but will do the job? Thanks.

Is there anywhere that you can get free or low cost cosmetic dental treatments in the Uk? Such as dental schools etc. As privately these procedures can cost thousands of pounds
