I'm not sure why he didn't do that. Did the cusp of this tooth break off and he replaced the missing piece with a composite filling?

Thanks Bryanna-
You may think I am nuts, but now the tooth feels like I can move it with my tongue.
Nothing broke off. I went in for my bi-annual, feeling fine. So do you think it needs to be redone?
ACtually, I think I had this cavity/decay at the last appt, because it was a non xray appt, and I remember when he probed my mouth (less than 30 seconds), he was probing that area...and I said then, if I have a cavity, even if it is small, fill it now. He said it was OK.
I was looking for some natural dental products at CVS and could not find any.
