Ouch! tooth has sharp pain on bite after spot filling, why is this happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: There is probably some inflammation in the tooth. You may need to see your dentist again and have him see how close the filling is to a nerve. If it is close you may need to place a material like calcium hydroxide beneath the filling.
