So i had a filling a month ago (different filling than the one my other thread is about). I could sort of feal the seam of it with my tongue, so i went to the dentist to have it smooth it out.
The first time i went the dentist said she couldn't see anything so she couldn't smooth anything out, so given that i had also other mouth issues to deal with in that session, i decided to wait and see if it would smooth out on its own.
The second time i went i insisted and spent a lot of time pointing out where i felt ther seam, and she smoothed it out and for a while it felt smooth.
Now, after two weeks from that smoothing i can feel that seam again, even if not as much as before.
The weird thing is that both than and now, it sort of feels like the upper part of the teeth (where i assume the filling is? I am not sure) is slightly bigger than the lower part of the teeth, causing this feelable small dislevel.
i have this nightmare scenario in my head where the filling is just a tiny bit too small and the dentist to not have to do the filling again (cause you can't really add things to fillings) decided to instead put some varnish or whatever on the tooth, to make it feel smooth for a while and get me out of the office and now is wearing out, bringing back the seam. I know this is very much improbable, but i'd like some reassurance that it's a thing that can't happen and i'm just making it up in my head?
Aside from that, should i schedule another appointment? Or wait till my next checkup in january? It doesn't bother me hugely aside from the anxiety, but it is also there... and my dentist is far away...
Is this stuff normal? I remember one of the filling i got three years ago, sort of felt like this for a week, and then sort of smooth it out on its own...
Also this is a new dentist to the one that usually did my stuff in this practice on the last couple of years, and this is like the second time i had minor problems with filling she did, and the way she treated me wasn't particularly reassuring... but also getting in to a new practice is expensive and also i don't really know anyone who could reccomend me a good dentist as i'm not a uk native... i am not sure what to do... is there any way to be sure my filling has been done well?
