A tooth can feel different after a filling because the way you bite has changed a little. If the new filling is a bit too high that tooth might get pressure when you close your mouth or chew. The pressure can make the tissues around the tooth feel irritated. Cause the tooth to feel sore or slightly loose.<\/p>\r\n
Honestly a filling should not make you feel like the tooth is moving around. A small adjustment to the filling is usually all that is needed if the filling feels too high.<\/p>\r\n
A tooth that feels loose after a filling should be checked by a dentist if the movement does not go away if the tooth hurts when you chew or if the area becomes swollen. Pain that keeps getting worse is another sign you should not ignore.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Some mild soreness for a time can happen, especially after a deeper filling.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A tooth that clearly moves when you push it needs attention even if it does not hurt.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 If your bite feels uneven tell your dentist about it because it helps them understand the problem.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Swelling around the tooth is a situation especially if the discomfort is getting worse.<\/p>\r\n
Sometimes the filling just shows a problem that was already there. Deep decay can affect the inside of a tooth before treatment and the tissues around it may also be irritated. So if the tooth stays loose your dentist needs to find out why of thinking the filling is the only cause.<\/p>\r\n
Give the tooth some space. Try not to keep checking it with your tongue or finger because that movement won’t help and can make the area feel more irritated.<\/p>\r\n
If the tooth is really loose I would suggest making a dental appointment instead of waiting and hoping it goes away. A quick visit can help find out if the problem is the filling, the tooth or the tissues that hold it in place.<\/p>\r\n
