Tooth still stings after filling?

They told me because of the size, it could take a few weeks for the sensitivity to go down. It's now been almost two months and I still can't chew anything hard or crunchy on that side without it stinging. It makes me paranoid that the filling is going to come loose or something.

But it really irritates my jaw to only be able to chew on one side. I get a lot of clicking and popping. How long should I wait before telling them it still hurts? It's a lot less sensitive than it was when it was first done. I couldn't chew at all on that side unless it was super soft and not hot or cold. But it's still very annoying that it hasn't gone away yet.

My bite often feels different. It's very likely that I have TMJ.

It could be as simple as adjusting the new filling.  Before the dentists dismisses you from your appointment they check your bite but sometimes when people are numb they bite differently than when they're not numb.  Even if the filling is off a little bit it can really be irritating.

If your dentist can not adjust your bite properly, you may need to see a prosthodontist. Some people can adapt to newly introduced occlusal interference, some people don't.
