I’ve recently gotten a filling in my top right back molar (nearest my wisdom tooth) to repair a hole at the gum line. I wouldn’t say it was a significant hole but, it was big enough to feel. There was no pain. My question is, (because I clinch my teeth and I do not have the straightest teeth) I was told that, eventually it seems I will need a crown put on it. Almost as if filling it was a temporary fix. They put a light in my mouth after to “cure it” they said.
Will this “temporary fix” hold up against my clenching? I am also set to look into a dental clench guard. Would I need to go ahead and get a more longer term fix for this tooth before looking into the clinch guard?
