A member asked:
Is it possible to have a zit on my gum below a tooth with a filled cavity?
13 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: That zit maybe the signs of a dental infection. You need to see your dentist and get an x-ray, it could be a different tooth. But it most likely that the tooth nerve was irritated or infected since that tooth filling was placed.
