You should return to your dentist for an adjustment if your filling is too high. It is simple to fix and important to have looked at.
You have to go back to your dentist and have your bite adjusted!!
It is a relatively simple procedure for your dentist to adjust the filling. You will not need an anesthetic.
Go back to the dentist that did the filling and have him/her check and adjust the bite. It is quite common to have this occur. When your mouth is numb, it is somewhat difficult to judge the bite on a filling.
I suggest to go back to the dentist to adjust it.
The only way to really fix this is to follow up with your dentist. They will adjust the bite by shaving it down. This generally does not require you to get numb. It is important that you go and have the bite corrected since having a "high" bite can lead to tooth sensitivity.
