I have a tooth that got a filling about half a year ago and i'm noticing that the tooth feels a little high on the bite, how can this be corrected?

Bite adjustment: If that is all it is, just a simple adjustment of your bite should do the trick. If it has been six months since the filling, then the filling may have broken or dislodged if you are feeling it just now. Bites that are off are usually felt right away. See your dentist.

Bite adjustment: Please make an appointment with your dentist to have your bite adjusted. It is a fast and easy appointment. Further damage could happen if it is not corrected.
