Pain from tooth when bite down?

On my first bottom molar, I had a filling on the biting surface about a year ago. On this tooth there is now a sharp pain when I bite down. And I think I pinpointed that it is happening at the edge of the filling. The pain goes away immediately when I stop biting. And it is only happening with certain foods.

Is the filling going bad? Looking at it there doesnt appear to be anything cracked or broke or anything like that.

You may have crack tooth next to the filling. To clearly see crack line, the dentist need to use intra - oral camera. The small crack line will not show in the x-ray. Ask if your dentist has an intra - oral camera (the receptionist will tell you). If your dentist doesn't have it, call other dentist who has one.

In the meantime, eat soup. Avoid using that side because if it is really cracked, you don't want it to crack more!
