Looking at your X-ray , there may be two causes of the pain ;
1.overextension of filling in the interdental space which in turn is impinging the gingiva there.
2. Infection reaching the pulp ( secondary caries )
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and get a thorough examination done .

Hi from the xray two teeth are filled but the filling on the bigger tooth(1st molar
) is very close to the pulp .
Since the filling is like a weight causing pressure and thus radiating pain while chewing.
