[|Human|] I just got a cavity filling done yesterday, and my mouth is still sore. Just now, when I was walking around, I felt something in my mouth. Turned out to be a piece of tooth, I believe. Also, feels like a piece got down my throat. Is this something to worry about?
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for posting here. This can be dislodged filling or broken tooth. If it is a broken filling, it must be redone. You must get it done immediately to prevent sensitivity and prevent further weakening of the tooth. If you broke your tooth, then an x-ray is necessary to assess if it is close to the pulp chamber. In that case, if it is close to the pulp, a root canal is necessary. Anyway, an x-ray must be done in case you broke your tooth. Do not chew on this tooth till you see your dentist. Check if you grind your teeth in the night. Dislodging of fillings is common in night grinding habit. If yes, you must get a soft splint to wear in the night. It will reduce the stress on the teeth you apply unknowingly. Hope this helps.
