hello,
after my recent cavity filling i noticed that this has altered my
'bite'. i am wondering about the process of getting the filling trimmed
down a bit or if i should just leave it.

is the same type of drill used to grind down shiny filling? does it
generate more heat than drilling tooth? does it hurt more? could the
filling fall off during the trimming? thanks

Get it trimmed, it will not hurt!

I've had it done without pain relief. Not painful like the original
drilling. It's surprising how little has to be removed to fix this sort of
thing.

when you bite your teeth together to test it, be sure to do it again when
they sit you up in the chair, as your jaw will shift differently when you
are laying back. A too high filling or temp crown can make your jaw
really start aching.
