I think either my filing came out or i have a cavity. stuff keeps getting stuck in between my filled tooth and it's tender. there is a mini gap there?

Possibly: It can be either a lost restoration, decay, or an open contact on the new filling. Consult your dentist to diagnose the problem.

Visit your DDS: a lost or chipped filling or tooth decay could lead to a root canal and possible loss of the tooth. See your dentist soon.
