Hello. Please tell me that there is something that can be done about this that will not cause pain. The dentist shaved down some enamel in the top molar (no cavity there..stupid me asked her to) which was v shaped, but now it s more of a u shape. Now, there is not enough contact here in the center. Is there any way (other than a crown) that she could attach a small piece of material here to get back the v shape and not cause pain. I m scared because I m not sure if I should leave it alone, get a custom nightguard made and hope that I adjust to the new bite, or if I should get something else done. I ve read horror stories online about people in this situation who kept trying different things and ended up miserable. I can eat right now without pain. It just feels strange smiling and enuciating certain words now. What would you suggest?
Helloo...read through your query...nothing to worry in this case...the shaved part can be rebuilt using a material called composite...but it has a small disadvantage that it has less strength (nothing can ever replace your original tooth perfectly) compared to natural tooth.so during biting u have to be little careful.to reduce hard biting in that area...other way is that since u don't have pain or symptoms .u have to wait for few days.then u will automatically get adjusted to the new bite.choice is URS...I would always go for 2nd option(natural adjustment).and later if any problem develops u can always approach your dentist. Hope your benefitted by my reply.be happy and have a healthy day!!
