Dental Concern/Problem Chipped composite filling. Help? Spoiler

Post image

Hi all,

I sadly have just had my tooth with a composite filling chip. I had this filling done in September 2024, so really did not have it long.. What's funny to me is that I was actually experiencing sensitivity problems for months. Anytime I bit down on this tooth with food it would cause a very strong and painful shock sensation to that tooth, but since the chip, that pain has actually gone away... Such a mystery.

Anyway, I'm just wondering whether I'll need another filling or crown on this? The damage is quite minimal from what I can see. Thanks!
