Help =(

[kelvin]

Guys,

I need some insight on this.

I was eating some "Cheezels" and all of a sudden i bit something hard and then i feel funny. I then proceeded to take this picture of my upper right molar (which was filled) and i saw a straight hairline crack.

It's at night now and all of my dentist are closed =(

Attached is a picture of the teeth and may be too "graphic" to some of you so, be warned.

Hello Kelvin

Looks like a fracture in the filling and probably a part of it became loose (that’s why you had the “funny” feeling). The only thing you can do is go see your dentist (which by now you probably did). In the meantime, avoid biting on that tooth.

However, I can see the filling is quite large. I would advice for an inlay or a dental crown, because the tooth needs to be strengthened and this cannot be done with a filling alone.

Of course, it is up to your dentist to determine the best approach
