Filling needs redoing

[Kirsty123]

My lower right wisdom tooth needs its filling re-done but the dentist won’t say why. He just says cos it does. This filling was done 2 years ago but a different dentist. Can anyone see on this x-ray why the filling would need re doing? I’m worried about it being redone as I don’t want pain from the tooth afterwards and I have it set in my head that redoing this filling will cause me pain and issues.

Can't say from just an x-ray, sorry.

Your dentist's reply is a bit dismissive though, I'd not be happy with being told that.
