Hello,
Just had a filling done on the back of one of my upper front teeth that had a part rotted away near the bottom. Now after the numbness has gone away, I have noticed that when I close my mouth, the tooth directly under it knocks into the tooth which I have had filled. Subsequently, this is also affecting my eating, and I have to try chewing the food in one side of my mouth, otherwise the top and bottom teeth will start banging together with every chomp.
Has the dentist put a too big a filling in my tooth? And can this be smoothed out etc afterward?
I just want to know if this is easily treatable by the dentist; as I don't want to pay another £55 for the pleasure of getting it fixed again.
Regards.

) is that sometimes it takes a while after the numbness wears off & perhaps a little swelling to go down & the fillings usually feel fine after a day or so. But I have had problems where the filling isn't perfect. The dentist can tell by putting in a plastic-type film between your teeth & after you bite down they can tell if the filling is in the way. It's usually never a problem to reshape it to fit the bite correctly. Do this right away so you don't end up chipping other teeth that are misalligned now. That was my mistake.
