Hi sir,
Composite filling last for 2+years depending upon.. Proper way of filling n setting.... Above all post treatment protocol to be followed like not eating frm that side.. N avoid any tea coffee n cold drinks for atleast 3hrs....well if all this fail.. Then cracked filling..
Well since u use the tooth frequently n eat frm that side also causes filling failure
Pain n sensitivity to hold cold.. N sweet items..
The depth of caries has reached to pulp..
Itz better to get done RCT for further worsening of ur tooth.. Better to save the tooth..post treament details will b given by ur doctor.. Get an IOPA of tooth n start procedure immediately..
Save it befor itz too late..
Under medication start with antibiotics n analgesic on SOS..
Next Steps
Visiting to doctor must RCT of tooth with restoration with crown.. Avoid further damage to teeth..
Hlo

How much do composite filling last depends on patients habits..
