[QUOTE="honestdoc, post: 128327, member: 7943"] Are you sure your dentist placed a new white filling on top of your existing metal filling? That is very unusual because the white filling does not bond to the metal. After the filling was placed, did you feel your bite had changed? You can ask your dentist to use a plastic stick called the "tooth sleuth." Your dentist will have you bite into the stick and you may feel discomfort when you bite down. If you have pain when you release your bite, your tooth may have an internal crack. Further testing may be needed to determine if you need a root canal and or crown, or just adjust or replace the filling. [/QUOTE]
