Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the filling is lost then the pain is most probably originating from the tooth and causing radiating pain in ear and tongue.
So my suggestion is to first of all consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.
A clinical examination and investigations like x ray can be done to rule out the exact cause.
If it is due to toothache and the nerve is exposed then Root canal treatment can be done followed by capping of the tooth.
If tooth is fine with no nerve exposure then filling can be re-done.
Also you can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and do warm saline gargles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
