Pain in my tooth after having a filling over a month ago?

Question

My filling was in the top left hand side of my mouth, a couple of teeth in from the end of the row.

I'm now getting very painful sensitivity when I chew or even press my teeth together. I tried chewing only on the other side of my mouth and I still get the pain in my tooth, just because it presses against the bottom row automatically when I close my mouth.

When the dentist pressed right into the tooth before filling it I could feel the nerve (I think it's the nerve) that feels so odd and painful - that's what I can feel when I chew.

I think it was a composite filling and a dental website was explaining that the dentist has to have a very good technique for composite fillings. My brother had a filling with the same dentist a couple of weeks before I had mine, and his has begun to hurt recently too.

Help anyone?

Unfortunately there is no good technique for placing a white fillings, that will change the fact that all composite fillings shrink after being placed. A good technique can make the problem less severe, but it will never go away. This is one reason that white fillings are extremely likely to be sensitive.

If you wish to avoid sensitive teeth, have fillings that last a long time, and avoid crowns and root canals, then you need to get silver fillings instead.

hurting after a few years and hurting right away are two different tings

I was told if it ONLY hurts from [hot cold pressure] and not just randomly you can try to wait it out and the nerve may pull back on its own, it is hurts at odd random moments for no reason get it checked you may need a root canal

hurting after being OK for a while may mean your bite has shifted or you have a new cavity in that tooth

if you do not trust this dentist you can change dentists but I am not hearing anything very unusual in what you say

resin is tooth colored composite is silvery 
composite does transmit heat and cold faster in my opinion
