In July, I got a filling on the back of my top tooth - the tooth directly next to my right front tooth. There used to be a 'ridge' on the back of this tooth that I would feel with my tongue all of the time (there is an identical ridge on the opposite left tooth as well), and. when the dentist filled the small cavity on the back of the tooth, he shaved away the ridge, too.
I have, since the filling, had troubles making the "S" sound - I have definitely developed a mild lisp. I went to a new dentist, and he said that there is nothing he can do about it - that the filling is so small to have made a difference - and that my lisp will eventually go away.
Well, it hasn't gone away! I've tried to ignore it, but, if anything, it has gotten worse.
What caused my lisp? How can I get rid of it?
Thanks!
