Bite doesn't feel right after getting a filling on opposite side, what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High Filling: A new filling can result in a bite change that you feel on the other side usually by being slightly high. This happens a lot in dentistry, many people don't bite together normally after their mouth is open for a period of time, muscles tend to tighten up. The solution is usually a simple bite adjustment to the new filling by your dentist.
