It is totally normal to have sensitivity after you had a filling, especially if it was a large filling.
Underneath the enamel of your tooth is dentin. Dentin is kind of the cusion for the root. Dentin can regrow itself, and does regrow itself after the tooth has been traumatized. Since you had a filling, your tooth is probably just growing the dentin back, and since that cushion isn't as big as it USE to be then the sensations from eating are causing some pain to be transmitted to the nerve (root).
I wouldn't worry if I were you at all!

Don't be scared. The filling in the tooth may have broken off a little bit, so the food you are eating could be touching the nerve in your tooth. Don't be worried until the dentist tells you to be worried

contact your dentist.
I have had this and it was nothing to worry about in my case.
My nerves were being irritated by the special cosmetic filling that he had put into my eye tooth.
It sounds like the nerve.
Is it sensitive to cold or hot?
If it is you may need a root canal.
Your dentist is going to fix it up though so don't be afraid.

Most women like to get their cavity filled. Sometimes it hurts at first but feels oh so good after breaking that bad girl in.
