About a decade ago I had a filling placed. In 2019, the filling chipped my tooth. I got a pulp cap down in 2019; however, I had sensitivity in the tooth a year ago (2022) I since then have no sensitivity like at all, and there are black lines/dots around my filling. Not sure what those are. Do you think I’ll need a root canal? Is this an urgent matter?
