Bacteria will enter and decay will start under the filling. You can't possibly clean in this area because it is a microscopic gap. The filling is probably already leaking. You may not feel pain now, but once you do, it's too late! If you go to the Dentist now, you will probably get away with a slightly larger filling. If you leave it, you will very likely need a root canal treatment and then will definately need a Crown. A filling? A few pounds. Root canal and a crown? About a grand - £1500. If you aren't bothered about your oral health, then the cost may change your opinion!! Another cheap option, of course, is extraction. Not recommended!! Once they're gone, that's it. I don't know how old you are, but they are meant to last for life...<br><b>References : </b><br>Ex- Dental nurse. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the seal of the filling has broken.
