Mark it. Take a little off. Mark it again. That is the whole job, and it is the reason your filling stops feeling like a filling.
Tap the paper. Leave a mark. Check the bite.
What a bite
check is.
A filling can look right and still feel a little high when your teeth meet. Articulating paper helps a dentist see where the teeth make contact.
You bite on the thin strip. Its ink marks the contact points, so the dentist can check a high spot, take a little off, and check the bite again. Try it in the sample chart above.
“she was especially careful to make my "bite" perfect.”

attention now.

Instructions from Central Dental’s emergency page ↗
Knocked-out tooth
- Rinse the mouth of blood or debris. Apply a cold cloth or compress to the cheek near the injury.
- Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Their page advises trying to place it back in its socket.
- If you cannot put it back, keep it in warm milk, saline, or the patient’s own saliva until you reach the dentist or emergency room.
Broken tooth
- Find the broken piece or pieces.
- Wrap them in a wet cloth and bring them to the dentist or emergency room.
- For a fractured tooth, rinse with warm water and apply a cold pack or compress.
A tooth that persistently throbs and keeps you up at night could be infected. Contact the practice for advice.
