I dunno, tough to say without an exam/xray. Composite fillings do cause more sensitivity and they are more technique-sensitive. But if the filling is close to the nerve, that will cause the sensitivity too. First thing is to make sure the bite is ok, if it doesn't stop then replace the filling and see from there.

I went back into the dentist 2 weeks ago and my bite seems fine, the x-rays seem fine. He says to give it another month, and he'll schedule me for a root canal procedure. The pain comes only when drinking something cold, and goes away after about 5 seconds. I haven't noticed the pressure problems in about a week, but I've mainly been eating on the other side, so I am not sure if there's still a pressure problem.
