Uncomfortable Filling

    So I got two fillings done this morning, one was fairly minor on one of my back left molar's, while the other was a deep filling to the back righ molar that he was much deeper and needed further checking. He said the filling there was only temporary (possibly lasting 6 months) and to come back next month to see if there was further work needed.

    The right molar is quite painful at the moment, which i expected as it was pretty deep, but it also feels like its too high or something. When i try and bite down, it seems to come in contact with the above tooth much earlier then the rest of my teeth, which will make it awkward when trying to chew food. Is this normal, and i'll just have to get used to it? Or can a filling actually be too high?

    sounds like the filling is too high alright. go back and have it adjusted ASAP. otherwise the tooth will get more painful. it will take the dentist about 1 minute to make the adjustment.

    So will he need to numb my mouth again? Its gonna be Friday before i can go back, so i guess i'll ring them today and book myself in.

    He may need to just file down the filing so I wouldnt think a local would be needed but the dentist will confirm!

    no he won't have to numb it. a high filling can feel very uncomfortable but is very easy to fix. no real appt needed I should think. I am sure most dentists would be happy to fit in one of their pts to adjust a recent filling at short notice
