Identifying a High Filling
For a dentist and a patient, figuring out if success has been achieved with a filling can be challenging. Your mouth is numbed for the procedure, so answering questions about how your new restoration feels may be simple guess work on your part. And you’re most likely (and understandably) ready to go home after receiving dental work, so you may rush to judgment and say everything’s fine. If you are living your life several days later and notice that your filling seems to be protruding and touching the opposing teeth faster than the rest of your bite, you may have a high filling. This can create an uncomfortable or even painful feeling.
High Filling Remedy
The bad news about high fillings is that they can temporarily injure your periodontal ligament. The clinical term for this is acute apical periodontitis or symptomatic apical periodontitis. If pain follows your appointment to get a filling, your Temecula dentists will likely have a fairly quick solution. The process of grinding the filling down to make it level should only take a few minutes. Once the filling is correct, your periodontal ligament may still need a little time to heal from the irritation, but you are likely to feel much better within two weeks.
