Hello,

I had a super small cavity and filling on molar #18 in the middle of the surface. My natural tooth was trimmed down on several edges (mainly the tongue side) when my bite was adjusted. That inside edge is definitely lower now and feels sharper compared to the other side (#31) where the edge of the tooth is still taller, thicker and duller.

Two days after the filling, the left side of my tongue is now constantly irritated and I experience what feels like sharp cuts in my tongue as I swallow and move it around.

Will the irritation eventually go away? Best way to fix it?

Thanks!

Go back to your dentist. There is most likely still a sharp edge that is irritating your tongue.
