What can be the reason for pain after gettin a tooth filled by dentist?


Answer:
Because the dentist didn't remove all the infection.
a hole in the filling with air in it
The nerves in your teeth are still exposed to food and poisons generated by bacteria
Depends on what type of pain you are experiencing. Is it sensitive when you bite down? If so the dentist may need to do a little adjustment to take it out of your bite. Is it a throbbing dull ache? If so it might be a deep filling possibly in need of a root canal. Is it just slightly sensitive to hot/cold? If so you just need to give it some time, it is normal for slight sensitivity to occur.
Because there was pressure applied to your gum and tooth, and there are nerves in your gum. It's a natural reaction to the pressure. If it continues over 24 hours, call your dentist. It's possible, though not probable, of damage to your jaw, another tooth, or nerve. Normally, taking an aspirin/tylenol/ibuprofren type pain reliever will help.
