So I just got a new dentist after a string of “filling- filling- crown- root canal- extraction” teeth. This dentist has put a crown on for me which seems fine. Last Thursday I went for 3 replacement fillings that were facial fillings on the gum line of 5,28,30.
The fillings are half the size of the teeth when he said they were just to fill receding gum line. All are very gritty. But real issue is that from 28-31 my gums were torn up, swollen and weird white tissue when he finished. It literally looks like a chemical burn or something. Could this be from the bonding agents or ?? I’ve had a lot of fillings and never had this type of damage to my gums. The gums@ 30 is extremely painful now on day 5. The filling is hanging over past my gums more than before filling and if I floss it goes right under the front of the filling. Also while flossing a tiny piece came out between 28/27 where he filled, I guess it was overhang but I can see the black dot where it’s empty . I’m afraid to say all these things wrong when he was already very annoyed at the amount of injections before giving up numbing. But my face and jaw are still numb & tingly on day 5 and I’m afraid that the real reason I “ never got numb” and just toughed it out was actually an infection that is now sealed up in there. what should I do? I don’t want to seem like I’m complaining but also these are the only teeth I have… pic of white tissue /gums that look crazy almost 6 days later.. I might have bad teeth but I have always had healthy gums. Now both look awful. HELP! TIA
