It doesn't always hurt, it's good till i eat a really hard meal like steak and once it starts to hurt it take few days hurts with any simple soft food even a gum. Dr. said filling is good but there is a space between it and the tooth besides :( she said I just need to fluse!! or start doing a crown! Honestly I don't trust her anymore to let her work on another tooth, she has already break a file inside another tooth and had to extract a root. Is there any other solution ? Can it be a gingivitis

Answer: Pain on biting
It sounds like there may be a gap between the bottom of the filling and the tooth. If this is the case then a new filling to seal that gap may help significantly. If there is a crack in the tooth then redoing the filling will likely not help and a crown may be needed.

Answer: Tooth pain
It is difficult to answer this question without an xray or exam, but sometimes, simply replacing the filling may solve your problem. Tooth colored fillings are extremely technique sensitive and if not placed properly they may result in post operative sensitivity. If the filling is too bulky or not touching the adjacent teeth you may be getting some gum inflammation since it is a food trap and that may cause the ligament around your gums to get inflamed and cause some sensitivity when chewing. There are a variety of reasons why your current filling may be failing. If you are not sure about your current dentist you always have the option of getting a second or even third opinion.
