Hello Doctor, I've had three cavities (Tiny ones) filled about three months ago, now i'm unable to chew as it causes pain.

This is happening becoz the filling would be higher than the normal height of the tooth and needs to be reduced by your dentist to relieve the discomfort
Next Steps
Visit your dentist n tell him to check for high points in the filling
