Hello..sometimes the fillings that are done are not levelled properly according to the height. There is a possibility of a high point on the filling. Please get that checked with a dentist. If that is not the case...taking an xray of the tooth will give a clearer idea as to what is to be done..

X-ray is required to check for infection. Your symptoms suggest that filling should be ok but X-ray is important to confirm the treatment plan
