Bite adjustment: The occlusion, or the "bite, " is likely high on the restoration, and this is causing sensitivity on chewing. Go to your dentist and he/she can adjust the occlusion quickly. This is easily fixed, so don't wait.

Bond failure: If it is a white filling , it sounds like a bond failure. You need to have it redone.
