Take it easy...: Don't stress the tooth; try not to chew on it for a while. Avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks. The filling is probably deep and the nerve is inflamed. This usually resolves on its own, but feel free to contact your dentist for further guidance.

New hygienist carved out fillings between my teeth claiming they're causing food to get stuck. When I mentioned it to the dentist, he denied she did that. My teeth are super sensitive/hurt terribly and now food is getting caught. What can I do?

I recently went to the dentist to replace old fillings. But the dentist I went to disfigured the core structure of the tooth in question (reducing my ability to chew efficiently). Worst part is that I now feel tooth pain in the area, what must I do?
