Since I have had a filling done on the front of my canine tooth near the gum-line about two months ago, i've been experiencing continued discomfort from it. It feels as though the majority of this comes from how it feels against my upper lip as it rests on it. It feels smooth to the tongue but my lip picks up on it instantly as this rough and lumpy thing thats been attached to my tooth. Sometimes theres also a low-key ache like the filling is putting pressure on the tooth. I figured this would be something i'd experience initially and would pass over time, to the point where it would become indeterminable with the rest of the tooth but i'm concerned that its now been around two months since i've had it done and i'm still experiencing these symptoms. I'm also worried about the long term implications of having a filling done here.
I've since been to see my dentist about it recently since the filling was done and she said she couldn't find anything wrong with the filling and refused to adjust it, instead referring me to a "root canal" specialist for advice. This didn't fill me with much confidence and I'm unconvinced this specialist is going to be of much help. The thought of just having to live with it concerns me deeply as it's something i'm finding very difficult to ignore. I suffer from depression and anxiety (which I am currently getting help for) and so it is causing me a great deal of emotional distress.
I'm not used to discussing this type of thing in internet forums so theres something about writing about my dental problems on the internet for strangers with only a vague description of my issues to go on to go on that feels a bit risky and redundant. But I feel its gotten to the point where i'm feeling a bit desperate and in need of some kind of friendly support from possibly those who can relate to what i'm experiencing. Thanks.
