I have an extra piece of meat coming out of my gums, near a cavity that was filled . what could it be?

Hello. : Hello. Unless meat is code name for something else, consider use of a flosser, a pick, string floss or an interdental brush to remove it the meat.

The : The gum tissue may have been irritated a bit during the placement of the filling. As dr mcleod advised, have it checked by the dentist who did it. No panelist can diagnose your situation sight unseen.

That : That is very interesting, and abnormal. Please go and see a dentist now and have your condition properly evaluated. I could spend five minutes giving you the symptoms for a differential diagnosis, but your dentist will be able to tell in a jiffy. Dr neil mcleod dds dentistry that lasts - quality that counts.
