Bite feels off after filling

[c1rcu1tn3rd]

Today I had an appt. at 3:30pm and got the lower-right 3 molars filled with I believe a composite material.

Anyways, aside from the major jaw pain and tooth ache my bite feels off. When I clench down those filled molars are the only ones touching unless I hold my jaw awkwardly. Therefore there is a gap and none of the other teeth are touching. The dentist did a bunch of those bite paper things. I honestly couldn't tell if it felt good or not cause I was all numbed up.

Anyways, it's driving me crazy and it's only been several hours since the operation was completed. Should I just wait till my next appt. (in 1 month from now) or call them tomorrow and tell them?

Also can composite fillings be removed? I know that she did quite a bit of drilling to remove decay so I'm worried if it was removed there'd be too little real tooth left considering I have major bruxism and my teeth are already very worn down with almost no enamel left.

Next months appt. is for fillings on the bottom left 3 molars (opposite side). And then from there I will probably need both top sides done.

If your bite feels off, you should not wait a month to get it fixed. It's quick and painless for the dentist to do a bite adjustment.

I have got fillings in most of my back teeth, some good, some went wrong. When your mouth is numb you cannot feel the bite. If you feel those teeth touching first then that sounds like the bite isn't quite right.
I would ring on Monday to get booked and I wouldn't wait a month either.

How does it feel now that it has been a couple of days since your teeth got filled? Any changes, or does it still feel off? I hope you're hurting less - that will make it easier to tell how natural the fit feels.
