I have a bunch of filling in my mouth (all composite). Got three done recently (also composite).
I have been very anxious about my teeth cause since I had the last one I had a persistent bad taste in my mouth (maybe related to the filling maybe not, the dentist says my fillings are ok and not damaged)
This morning I noticed that, especially if my mouth is a bit dry, I can definitely feel a difference in texture between the top bit of the tooth where I had these recent fillings, and the rest of my mouth. It doesn't feel "super" rough, but it definitely feels less... uh... "glassy". It's like, that bit of the tooth has just a bit more friction when i pass my tongue over it.
This feeling is only for the top not for the side.
Is this normal?
None of my other fillings feel like that, but I also had them for three years at this point, unlike these new ones.
Will it smooth it out?
It's not particularly annoying, in fact, I'm not even 100% sure that what I'm feeling is the filling and not some bit of vaguely rougher tooth surface, if I don't go and find it I don't really notice. But I am worried that the fillings might be cheaply made? I don't know how any of this dental stuff works, so please let me know?
I am mostly very anxious about this stuff lately because this taste in my mouth which has been there for a month at this point, while neither my GP nor my dentist can identify a cause.
So just let me know if what I described rings any alarm bell, or if i'm just being silly.
