Hello, So the filling might be a little high, which could lead to improper biting. All the pressure might be on that filling. So you can get the filling trimmed a bit and pain should subside.
Next Steps
Avoid biting too hard till you visit your dentist
Health Tips
Schedule an appointment with your dentist for reduction of high points on the filling.

Hello, Get it checked clinically once by your dentist to check for high points, if yes then trimming & polishing can be done. if not you might have to check for bilateral chewing then repeat the filling only if required.
