The dentist screwed my tooth up!
On tuesday I had two amalgam restorations done. She took ages about it, which was no fun. But ever since then one of the two teeth she 'restored' has been super sensitive to any pressure. Basically it's totally useless, I can't bite anything with it!

I'm worried now that it's going to have to come out! :cry:

1. You probably only need another trip back to the dentist.
She needs to lower the point where it hits the opposing tooth.

2. Well, I have another scheduled for the week after next
It doesn't hurt if I press directly on it. It hurts if I try to press between it and the tooth next to it. Unfortunately this happens a lot when I am eating. It even hurt to eat pasta last night! x(

3. How does it react to heat and cold?
Flossing must be a real pain.

5. Hot and cold doesn't bother it

12. Call the dentist, talk to her. It should be okay with a lil tweaking.
Teeth have feelings too. It's just a lil disturbed at the moment.

4. Billy I had two teeth that were re-filled
both at the same time. Both of my teeth had tiny cracks after she finished and I had to have more work. Go back asap, both of mine ended up with abscesses.
