Did my filling in the tooth cracked or is it just sore?

Question

I was eating some pretzels (i always eat pretzels and this rarely happens to me) and I've bit on something hard. The pain was like sharp. It settled down and I decided to eat a peach. I chewed on that side to make sure I didn't do any damage and it's still a little sore. I checked the mirror and I notice that the fillings are still in tact. There was a little small line in the filling but it doesn't seem cracked. I've drunk some cold water and it didn't hurt. I hope I didn't crack the filling or something worse? If I eat soft foods, will that keep my fillins to last longer?

Answer 1

Honestly best way to know is if you go to your dentist.

Do you have braces cause if you do then thats pretty normal happens all the time.

Answer 2

I have had the same issue and after much exploring my dentist came to the conclusion that I had cracked the filling and/or tooth.  I grind my teeth bad and that is how we believe that I keep getting the problem.  I have one now.  Usually, if I ate on the other side of the mouth for about a month it would fill in but this latest one must be real bad.  I will have to get it drilled and refilled and hopefully I did not do much damage so that  I need it capped.

God bless and good luck
