A member asked:
My gum hurts even after an abscess was treated and it happens right after a new filing was put. why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitivity: Certainly after an operation and cavity procedure, the gums can be inflamed and sensitive. If it persists, then see the dentist and get an evaluation of the area. There are some crams that can help, but get eval to assure all is stable and the area is not infected. Best wishes.
