Uneven teeth after cavity filling
Hi,
I have done composite cavity filling today.
I am facing uneven teeth problem now.
My upper teeth has become pointy and I cannot bite properly from that side now and I am not able to eat properly and it doesn't feel comfortable at all where I can't touch my upper teeth with lower one fully. I feel if I try to touch it too hard my teeth will break.
Is there anything that can be done?

Hello Madam.,
May be it is due to high point. Visit your Dentist who has filled your cavity. Avoid eating hard food on that particular tooth.

Change in the articulation ( contact zone of teeth from both jaws ) is a common issue after restorations ( fillings ); as a common practice such high points are noted and managed immediately after restoration.
You have been correctly advised to visit your dentist for a review of the same.
Next Steps
Do not try to press your teeth against each other
