hi, i visited the dentist about 3 months ago to get my tooth fill, i did an exray first which found nothing wrong with the tooth. the filling was still done, after a couple weeks after i have seen changes in the colour on both sides of my cheeks they have a bluish/purplish colour. now im worried i went back to the dentist and was told that its normal and the colour may not come back what could be the problem here!?
HiT hanks for your query with Chat Doctor, it should have been good if you had mentioned what filling you got it done. If it is silver amalgam filling then I think traces of amalgam had been impinged into your cheek I believe or because of the use of mouth mirror for retraction would have cause the bruise in the cheek if later is the reason then it will be back in a short time that is because deoxygenated blood stagnation it appears blue, but if it is because former one then the color may not come back. Hope this is helpful
