Tooth Filling??!
Question:
Tooth Filling??
Ok so this may be weird. I had a cavity filled yesterday and it feels strange. It feels like the filling stuff ran down and dried on the side of the tooth. It also feels like that this tooth and the one next to it were glued together. I went to floss this morning and i couldn't even get the floss down the tooth and when i did and was finished some string was stuck and it like took me forever to get it out. Is this possible or am i just being weird??
Answers:
If necessary, the dentist who put in the filling should adjust it for you free of charge. That's part of the filling procedure.
If the filling was a composite resin and a bit of it flowed and pooled near your gumline and prevents you from effectively brushing there, the dentist who did the filling is required to trim it off. Also, a properly-done filling should allow you to floss without interference, so that's definitely something that should be looked at.
Ask your dentist for a follow-up, and good luck.
