Suggest Treatment For Stiff And Heavy Tooth After Filling

I had a tooth filled 2 months ago. Although the tooth is no longer sensitive it still feels heavy. My left side of the jaw also feels stiff and on occasions there is stiffness in my head as well. Why is this happening? My dentist said that my filling was not deep.
