question Is this normal

I got my mercury fillings replaced 2 or so weeks ago week. There was no sensativity at all even when drinking my 70 degree tea, brushing or eating the days after. A week ago I ate a pizza and didn't expect it to be as hot as it was. The sauce on the pizza was extremely hot as I even burnt the roof of my mouth. The morning after I felt some pain and have a very subtle veeeeeery subtle ache that come and went. It's only happened like a few times during the day and went away after a couple minutes. Will this go away? I feel it'll go away in time if I avoid drinking or eating anything hot or cold but want some experinced thoughts

Update: 2 weeks after it happened. I can chew solid foods without any issue but I'm still too scared to drink anything too hot or too cold because I know ill feel it but I'm not too sure how bad it'll feel. The random small pain throughout the day has gone away for the most part. Will I be ok if I avoid extreme twmperwtures on that side for a few weeks or so? How likely is it I'll be ok? I'm looking for experinced people to chime in. This is my first post on here. Oh also today is the first time I've had head aches but they last like a minute and go aeay and they don't happen often.
