Bite adjustsment: You need to see your dentist to evaluate whether or not you need another bite adjustment or if it's something else. Sometimes these situations require more time or more adjustments.

Teeth/Jaw: Do all your teeth touch at the sametime when you bite? If not then you may need another adjustment if the bonded filling you had placed is too high. Is the pain in the tooth area or higher up in the joint? Your TMJ may have been affected if the filling was high however it should clear up after the bite is even. See your dentist or get a second opinion from another dentist.
