Pain in tooth filled 2 months ago

Pain in tooth filled 2 months ago

I had a tooth with a silver filling and 2 months ago the filling fell out taking a chunk of my molar with it....I went to my dentist and he said that there was decay behind the filling and had to drill a lot of the tooth out and moulded a white bonding material filling into what was left. About 2 days ago I ate an ice cream cone and suddenly the whole right side of my mouth was in agony....after an hour or so that subsided and now that one tooth is painful whenever i bite down on anything and just aches the rest of the time

Its possible that there's decay underneath the filling again or that there's an infection in the nerve from before that wasn't detected earlier.  It may need a root canal now.
