I recently got some fillings, for the first time in my life. I was just flossing this evening, and when I was done I noticed a tiny chip of something hard in my mouth.i have quite tight teeth, and sometimes have a bit of difficulty getting the floss out. I'm worried that it might be off a filling or a tooth.
