See your dentist: See your dentist to check your bite and your filling. It is probably an easy adjustment.

Visit your dentist : Sometimes because you are numb, it is not easy to finalize the height of the filling. If after the anesthetic has worn off, the tooth feels high, give it a few days to settle down. If after 2-3 days it is still high, visit your dentist for the necessary minor adjustments.
