Ceramic Filling On Upper Right Molar. Why Am I Uncomfortable While Chewing?
I got a ceramic filling on my upper right molar and gone for couple of adjustments too. All looked normal for two weeks. All of a sudden, I felt some mild pain in that filled molar while biting or chewing and I feel like , iam not biting with my original teeth and biting with some other thing. And kind of so uncomfortable while chewing foods. Today morning, I noticed a very tiny black spot on the gum in between the filled upper molar tooth and filled wisdom tooth . I really wonder what it is? And what is the cause of my pain. I got filling on both upper molar and wisdom tooth just a month back. Please advice me. Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I really got a good oral hygiene and don t have any smoking or drinking habits.

hello and welcome to hcm forum Prettal,
i would be glad to answer your query, according to the the dental history provided by you it seems, that the ceramic filling is either too high or there is some infection present in the tooth, pain is usually present following trauma or infection in your teeth, you have not mentioned if there is swelling associated with the pain, i assume there is no swelling.
i would like to advise you to visit your dentist again and ask him to check the filling once again ,as it is hurting you.
also, the black spot over the gum needs to be checked clinically in order to rule out a diagnosis.
till then ,start with warm saline rinses(3-4 times/day),and avoid biting from the affected side.
i hope i answered your query,
i wish you good health,
take care.

Hi,
First of all,that was not a ceramic filling.All tooth coloured fillings are composite fillings. I thougth you must be having chronic infection in root area(periapical region) of either first molar or second molar (upper right).Diagnosis can be confirmed through OPG radiograph.I thing it is because of caries exposure and periapical abscess inright upper first or second molar and may be infection present in both teeth.Treatment is to do root canal treatment(by latest wave one procedure)and to provide crowns on root canal treated tooth.This all procedure should done under antibiotic,analgesics, trypsin, chymotrypsin and b complex(five days course).In future ,if required minor surgical procedure(apicectomy)can be performed. So this way you will get relieved by pain ,sensation and rigth side will work hundred persent. All the best.
