Pain with Biting Beginning a Month After Filling?

gunnca
I had a deep filling, and after a few days of sensitivity, it felt fine for a about 2 weeks. Yesterday, it started to hurt upon chewing. it feels sort of like it did when I first got it filled. It is not sensitive to cold or heat. Should I wait it out and see if it gets better again? Might I need a root canal? What could be wrong?
