Get it checked: Go back to the dentist who filled your tooth. It may be as simple as the filling being too tall so your bite is hitting too hard on that tooth. But it could be as complex as the tooth dying due to nerve damage. Your dentist will do some tests to determine what the cause(s) is/are and how to resolve your issue.

See dentist: This could be anything from injection trauma to a possible root canal problem. Your dentist will diagnose and treat properly.
