I had a composite filling done on my lower back tooth today and now that the numbness has worn off I have a sharp pain in my tooth when chewing. I can only feel the pain when I chew even when it's something soft. I do not have any discomfort when biting down or grinding my teeth together. And the temperature of the food does not matter either. I went back to the dentist and he checked to see if the filling is too high and he ended up filing it a bit but he said everything looks good but it still hurts
