Bad quality photo, but I was brushing and flossing teeth when I saw this, I had a bit of my gum removed and both teeth filled in about a month ago, the decay was deep and I had a large cavity between the two teeth. I can’t seem to get it out and don’t want to damage the fillings, I’m very worried about this.
Had these two teeth filled in about 2 weeks ago, maybe just over. The fillings were very deep and they had to remove part of my gum. It was all going well until about two days ago. I have been experiencing some dull and fairly mild pain and sensitivity in them but it’s enough to make me worry. The first week was slightly more painful than imagined but it has settled down since. I had the cavities for as long as I can remember before they got filled. A few weeks before this I had an extraction of a lower molar, and 2-3 weeks after these fillings I had a bottom molar one, which I currently have some complications with, a top molar filling which was very large and a filling adjustment. I’ve also noticed pain in the same teeth but on the opposite side. I’m wondering could this be pain from all the trauma and procedures my mouth has experienced in the last few days or is it from one of the other fillings? Is it something to worry about?
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but the smallest things send me into a spiral of stress. I have a severe problem with googling every little thing or symptom with makes me imagine the worst and expect the worst. My boyfriend and family describe it as an obsession, which in some way they are correct. I can’t seem to stop talking or thinking about things that affect me mentally, or doing things that make it worse. A while ago I struggled to fall asleep one night, since then I have been extremely anxious before bed due to the thought of not being able to sleep, even tho my sleep has been fine. These little things, like one sleepless night make me believe stupid stuff such as that I will get fatal insomnia or something. It sounds so stupid but it is beginning to affect my day to day life.
One example is a recent, and still ongoing dental situation. I have been googling every little thing. I have tried my best to stop but I feel like I genuinely can’t. I feel like urge to google everything, I need to have an answer to everything. My symptoms aren’t considered normal in this situation, according to my dentist and google. Even tho my dentist said it is nothing to worry about yet and he has seen worse situations where patients have been perfectly fins. I have been crying, stressing and imagining the worse. I understand everyone is different especially when it comes to dental work and healing, and there are probably hundreds of people with the same situation as me or much worse. I always focus on the little bad stuff even if there are a million positive stuff about the situation. I always expect the worse for myself.

There is a lot I haven’t added, but I feel extremely stressed and anxious about every thing, big or small.
