The bite may be off: You likely need to have the bite adjusted. Close slowly and see if this filling hits before the rest of the teeth. If so, then it needs to be adjusted to fit. Don't wait, get in to have it checked / adjusted.

Lots of reasons: If it is a tooth colored fillig there might be some c forces involved, that is, the material contracts a little when it is cured. If it was bonded to multiple walls of the filling at one time it is possible that the bonding is pulling the tooth together (sounds wierd, but thats what the research says) it is best to see your dentist.
