Your nerve ending are in shock. If it about 3 days, then call the dentist.

It should not hurt, and I would not allow "silver" fillings they are controversial to say the least. There is a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, you could use, however I personally would go back to the Dentist and complain about both, the Silver filling and the pain, and hope that he would redo the filling with the natural amalgam white filling at no charge.

Yes, it is common for teeth to be sensitive after receiving a restoration. The tooth itself is traumatized during the procedure, which can make it sensitive for a few days/weeks. Also, since metal conducts heat well, it is very common for teeth receiving silver amalgam fillings to be sensitive to temperature for awhile. Keep an eye on it. If the sensation does not seem to get better within 2 weeks, consult your dentist again.

Ya its possible. Depending on how deep your cavities were and with what material your dentist filled it with.
The drilling and the above factors can cause some discomfort which will subside in a week or two. sometimes a tingling sensation or sensitivtiy will persist for longer periods. If there is 'frank pain' then you need to check with your dentist.

I had a filling done and the pain lasted 3 weeks. I took ibuprofen for the pain.
You have sensitive teeth. You should consider using a toothpaste like Sensodyne toothpaste. It is also recommended that after you brush your teeth and rinse you should apply the toothpaste directly to your sensitive teeth and let it sit there for awhile.
