Is my filling too high or will i need a root canal? (Photo)

jgross25Mar 2, 2015
I got a deep filling in my top left front tooth. It was fine for two weeks then a couple of days ago i could feel a little swelling around the gums of the tooth and when i bite down the tooth hurts badly even to the slightest touch. What could be wrong?

Tooth-colored bonding material is a quick and inexpensive method to fix a chipped tooth.  Avoid home remedies as anything painted on the tooth could be potentially toxic.
