Author Gold inlay question
Rob

I recently had a molar reconstructed with gold inlay (about one month).
It was originally a deep amalgam filling, which needed replacing. I
was glad to have the mercury removed. However, ever since the
procedure, when I drink any cold or sightly cool water (or liquids), The
tooth makes a clicking sound as if it's either contracting or expanding.
Sometimes there is sight pain for a split second.

Should I be concerned? If I return to my Dentist, should I expect to
pay additional fees?
