Check Bite: If you just had a filling on another tooth, the discomfort may be due to the bite being off. Go back to the dentist and have them adjust the bite if needed.

Teeth aren't solo: Teeth don't work alone, and your mouth is well-connected with the rest of your body. There are a myriad of factors that affect your teeth. Thus it could be the other teeth that work against the one with work or another problem that revealed itself only after "stirring the pot." follow-up with your dentist for the quickest solution custom to you.

Bite adjustment: One possible reason for tooth aching in another tooth after you received a restoration on another is that your bite is off. You should go back to the dentist and have the evaluate the bite.

See dentist.: Could be another problem in that tooth, or referred pain from filled tooth. See dentist for assessment.
