Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern..
As per your query your daughter have severe jaw and teeth painwhich is due to many things like gum recession which exposes the dentoenamel junction or dentin present on the root of the tooth , other reasons are irreversible damage to the tooth due to deep down infection in tooth caused by leakage in filling material which usually happens with time.
I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination .Dentist may pull out the filling and refill it by applying liner or base under the filling,he/she extract the tooth in case or irreversible damage or graft can be given in case of gum recession.
For now what you can do is take painkillers like ibuprofen or declofenac and apply anti sensitivity tooth paste like thermoseal for 10 mins on affected tooth then rinse it. Maintain oral hygiene and avoid too hot and cold beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
