Hello,
Change in Color with increasing pain and sensitive to pressure is a definite sign of an infected tooth. I suggest that you return to your dentist for an x-ray and diagnosis. You may be placed on an antibiotic and need to have a root canal on this tooth. swelling or formation of a bubble on the gum near the tooth may develop. Do not ignore this condition as it can worsen. Was your filling very deep? This is not uncommon for a tooth that has been filled multiple times.
Take some anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Advil and avoid chewing on the tooth until you visit your dentist.
Thank you for your interest. Please schedule a visit soon.

There must have been a recurrent decay. Sign and symptoms suggest that an X-ray be bone of the involved tooth for a definitive treatment plan.
