Answer:

Without seeing you, I can only guess as to what the cause of the soreness is. My guess is that the fillings changed the overall shape of your teeth (very common). When you speak and function throughout the day, your tongue is rubbing on these areas. Depending on your bite, an orthodontist may be able to help, or the fillings may need to be done over, possibly with a different material.
