Dentist replaced fillings on two molars on top right. Fillings were made too low/short so there is no contact between the top and bottom molars on the right and slight contact on top and bottom left molars. Now lower incisors and canines hurt as they have increased contact. Advice. What are the next best steps? It s been three weeks. Pain with chewing. Slight chip on lower left incisor as a result of off bite.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to tell you that you have got deep bite due to faulty restoration & only way to get it corrected is got your filling redone.Otherwise, there will be traumatic bite & stress on anterior while biting. If this problem of dislodgement of filling occurs again then you should go for capping because that's the permanent treatment. Regarding chipping of lower left incisor, I would suggest you to get clinical check up done. If its very minuter than can be corrected by composite build-up otherwise capping would be other option. Consult your dentist for further query. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
