What does it mean when an aching jaw/tooth is caused by a filling? Is it normal, or has something gone wrong?

Question:

My boyfriend had a filling on Thursday, and has been complaining about an ache in his jaw/tooth ever since he told me about it. He's taken medicine frequently, and it's done nothing.
After recent fillings, I remember dealing with no pain at all. Especially not for five days.
Is this really just the result of the filling, or could something else be wrong?

Thanks.

Answers:
Yes, he should go directly back to that dentist...Something is wrong there.

The dentist didn't get all the infection out and apparently the antibiotic medicine is not doing it. He should go back to the dentist and this time hopefully the dentist will get it right.
