Had emergency filling done today (second one in 4 weeks) as a temporary measure to solve a root canal problem. I can’t get regiestered to a NHS dentist for love nor money since my last one up and left. Had registered at a semi private one through bupa. They can’t see me until 14th jan.
Extreme pain in tooth again for past two days to back to emergency dentist who had cleaned out and put another filling in. Only problem is that now the numbness has worn off it feels like the filling is ‘too high’ on my tooth so when I bite down my teeth don’t go together there is a small gap and all the pressure is on the sore tooth. Dentist didn’t check bite after she filled it like they do normally with that bit of paper.
What do I do now? I feel like I can’t take another emergency appointment but nor can I bite properly? Do I try and put up with it for the next 5 weeks until I can be seen at this new practice? Will it wear down on its own accord? It’s a white filling is that helps not a metal one. Not sure what to do as it’s sti aggravating the oringal offending tooth!
