Is it normal to still have a sharp pain after getting fillings for a cavity?

Not really: sharp pain may be caused by your bite being off because of a new filling. Or if the filling was deep it may have touched the nerve in that tooth In any event go back to your dentist and have it evaluated. The pain is telling you that there is a problem needing to be eliminated

Very common: Some people may experience tooth sensitivity after having a cavity filled. This can be fixed with a simple bite adjustment. See your dentist for post op evaluation.
