Medical Conditions - High Tooth Filling

When too much of tooth filling material is placed inside a tooth cavity, and it protrudes out, it is called high tooth filling. Biting on a tooth with a high filling can cause tooth pain, sensitivity, and can even fracture the tooth. Your dentist will be able to grind away the excess filling.
