1. It could be a new cavity. If you are still doing things that are bad for your teeth, there's no reason you won't get a cavity in that tooth again.

2. There could be a hole in the filling (even a tiny one that you can't see), where it is easy for bacteria to get in a make a new cavity.

3. Your dentist didn't remove all of the decay.

NO,NO,NO. Never attempt to do this. There is decay that can only be removed by a qualified dentist.

Then only a root canal or an extraction will take care of it.
