Is composite filling cause of sore gums?
Q. 5 months ago I had a small gap between by two front teeth closed with white filling (composite bonding). It looks great, feels fine, and is easy to clean and maintain so i am very happy with it. However, over the last few months, my gum surrounding one of the teeth and the gum in the centre of the teeth has become red and puffy and sore looking. I am dedicated to keeping my teeth and gums healthy and no other teeth have this problem, my other gums are fine. I am off to see a hygeniest tomorrow, but it this a common complaint with this type of cosmetic procedure? i have never seen gum problems on the list of cons for composite bonding. Any idea what could be cuasing the redness and puffiness, bearing in mind i floss and brush my teeth 3 times a day and use mouthash as well. Thank you.,
A. I recommend you visit the dentist who placed it for you to check the margins and perhaps take an x-ray of this area.Kind regardsDr Justin Glasiterwww.umbrellasmiles.com
