    Default Can this filling be fixed?

    I had a filling done about a week and a half ago. I think I need to go get it adjusted, as my bite just doesn't feel quite right. The other problem is that it's super hard to get the floss in between to floss. I have to put a lot of force on it and then the floss shreds. I'm not sure if it's shredding from the force or if it's because there's a rough spot. Is there anyway they can fix that contact to make it so that I can floss without have to redo the filling?

    I have had them shave and fix fillings before to make them better. Call the dentist tomorrow and ask them to fix it.

    Most likely, but call them asap. Leaving your bite off for too long can cause bigger issues.

    Yes, explain what is happening to your dentist and he should very carefully adjust the filling, checking your bite as he goes.

    Hope all is back to "normal" soon!
