Filling came?!
Question:
Filling came?
I had small cracked tooth behind my molar and I just got it filled couple months ago, I had an egg for dinner one night and I took a bite out of the egg and I had a shooting pain from from that same tooth, is it possible that the filling came out or a cavity? With the filling, would I be having a really painful tooth?
Answers:
It sounds like you may have cracked tooth. Revisit your dentist to discuss your symptoms. Cracked tooth is hard to diagnose. It may be time for a crown. (Please say he put in a white composite filling and not a silver amalgam filling.) An x-ray of the tooth can assist in diagnosing root canal therapy.
