May be a high filling or broken filling.... Get that checked once and corrected if needed.
Use a dental floss to clean the area between teeth.
Chances of cavity in the unfilled tooth is also a possibility

Hi there could be some space left of created later after the filling!! You need to get it checked whether it’s a gap or the adjacent tooth too has a cavity!!! Plz visit dentist.... you might need a re filling or a new filling!!! However without clinically examining you a concrete diagnosis and treatment plan can’t be ascertained!!

Visit a dentist so that he can detect the main problem of food lodgement whether it is due to decay or due to bone loss or due to some other problem. Flossing can be useful to clean the tooth surfaces which are inaccessible to the brush
