I had two small fillings 4 weeks ago, since then I have had severe pain in my mouth, the pain goes to my ears and head

Q. Hello i really need some advice I had two small fillings 4 weeks ago, since then I have had severe pain in my mouth, the pain goes to my ears and head, i have to take pain killers every 4-6 hours, everything i eat or drink has to be luke warm, i have been back to my dentist twice and have a had xrays but they say everything is fine, they say there is no holes no decay but the pain is very bad i have to take cocodamol just to be able to sleep. do you have any suggestions

A. Sorry for the delay
It might be that he nerve inside the tooth has died. You would need a root filling to sort this out. AS the fillings are small you would be rather unlucky but given the description it is not unlikely.
