Okay, so I had a nightmare tooth filling. I had a tooth filled, and it was too high and causing me pain. I had it smoothed out, and I was able to eat, but it was not smoothed on the side in between the teeth. (is it a thing in the USA as I was born in NZ and if something like that happened they would shave between my teeth, in a manner of speaking.) I floss one side of the tooth and the floss is getting stuck to something on the side/in between the teeth almost halfway up the tooth. It bleeds, and it gives me the sensation that my tooth has moved. I push on it and it doesn't move. I misidentified it as being the tooth on the opposite side that has a crown. My mouth is very small so its hard to open wide and I am visually impaired. I finally got a good look and figured out it was the tooth that was filled. I am afraid the dentist won't believe me now as I told her it was my crown. (this issue started at the late end of May 2020 and she saw me and gave me aclean bill of health on June 18th) She says that it could be due to grinding and I need to wear my night guard (this was before I made the discovery just now) I am going to call and make an appointment in the morning. Has anyone ever heard of this issue before?
P.S. I wonder if the filling may have failed. The dentist says everything in my mouth is fine.
