A member asked:
I just got my teeth grinded and my cavities filled and now my teeth that got filled feel pointy when i run my tongue over it or speak.is it normal??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's normal: The occlusal surfaces of your teeth have a slightly different morphology after the restorations were placed, so the cusps of the teeth may feel "pointy". Any other concerns, go back to your dentist.
