Answer: Filling discomfort
By Sarah h

If you had a large area of decay that has been filled, it is possible that the nerve of the tooth was already insulted by the decay before it was removed. It is not normal for you to have pain when pressure is applied to your teeth. Since it has been sometime, it is best to make a follow up appointment with the dentist to be sure the nerve is still vital. Sometimes you can bruise the periodontal ligament around the tooth and it will heal, sometimes it can be a bite adjustment. However, since you mentioned the cavity was deep, more than likely the nerve was insulted and additional treatment may be necessary.
