But all the problems started after the dental filling, nothing was there before...
I dont eat tobacco, smoke or drink..
Should I go for biopsy?

Whenever there is some hard or uneven surface on teeth, it creates problem to soft adjacent tissues. Visit a dental clinic to remove the sharp edge. Then wait for few days, if this crack heals then okay, else again visit a clinic for futher investigation.

If your filling or tooth has any rough edges, it can cause trauma to your buccal mucosa leading to that ulcer. The ulcer won't heal until the source of trauma isn't removed. So please visit a dentist and get it smoothened or replace the filling with a new one. Then the ulcer will heal on its own.
Next Steps
visit a dentist soon!
Health Tips
avoid hot and spicy food for a few days until the filling is taken care of.
