Cavity filling is paining when chewing
My cavity filling is paining when chewing hard food like nuts, crispy items. It been a month and my pain doesn't go away.
My dentist adjusted height still no luck. She has taken the xray and found nothing.
My filling is not at all deep. What could be the reason?
I had 2 cavity fillings both have same pain.

Visit a dentist get a X-ray done to check whether there is still caries and it’s near to pulp ( soft region of tooth where nerves and blood vessels present ) .
If the pulp is involved then u need to go for root canal then only ur pain subsides and also medication should be take.
For the diagnosis and treatment u can consult me .

If filling not deep
High point adjusted
Still pain go het it changed (some times while doing restoration (filling) if saliva come in contact with tooth this can happen you will also feel sensitivity
Now filling is to be done in completely dry area maintained while complete procedure
Next Steps
Take chilled water check if it cause pain
If pain is momentarily get new filling
If pain sustain for more than 10 minutes go het an xray done
Take hot water/tea etc in mouth if it’s paining go get an xray done
If pain at night go get an x ray done
If only on chewing get filling change

Adjustment of the filling is a very tricky job ... sometimes can be achieved by 2-3 visits by the patient.
Next Steps
consult a experienced dentist before removal of the filling entirely.Redoing may cause more harm to the teeth
