Did my old filling fall out or am I being paranoid?
A few weeks I ago had an old filling crack and need to be replaced with a crown. Two days after the new crown was put in I had some jaw pain pop up on the other side of my mouth, and noticed this tooth right where my jaw was hurting looked strange.
I clench my jaw and have some sinus issues, so jaw pain in and of itself isn't unusual for me, but I'm starting to think it's also occasionally bothering me when I eat. I can't tell if I've just never noticed it before and am being paranoid, or if maybe it was a filling done around the same time that's also failed.
Any advice heartily appreciated. Have spent a lot of time schlepping to and from the dentist in the past few weeks and would love to avoid any extra trips if possible 🫠
