I got a ceramic filling on my upper right molar and gone for couple of adjustments too. All looked normal for two weeks. All of a sudden, I felt some mild pain in that filled molar while biting or chewing and I feel like , iam not biting with my original teeth and biting with some other thing. And kind of so uncomfortable while chewing foods. Today morning, I noticed a very tiny black spot on the gum in between the filled upper molar tooth and filled wisdom tooth . I really wonder what it is? And what is the cause of my pain. I got filling on both upper molar and wisdom tooth just a month back. Please advice me. Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I really got a good oral hygiene and don t have any smoking or drinking habits.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum Pretty, i would be glad to answer your query, according to the dental history provided by you, it seems, that the ceramic filling is either too high or there is some infection present in the tooth, pain is usually present following trauma or infection in your teeth, you have not mentioned if there is swelling associated with the pain, I assume there is no swelling.I would like to advise you to visit your dentist again and ask him to check the filling once again, as it is hurting you. Also, the black spot over the gum needs to be checked clinically in order to rule out a diagnosis. Till then, start with warm saline rinses(3-4 times/day), and avoid biting from the affected side. I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health, take care.
