The for is a metal and amalgam is also a metal a current passes between them when touched with saliva acting as a medium.This is similar to a reaction that occurs in a battery.Better go to a dentist and remove the amalgam filling and get a tooth coloured material filling done bettr composite

If pain is occuring only on contact with fork (metal to amalgam) then it is because of a condition called galvanism. Two options are there - one either change the filling to material like Composite or use plastic forks.
