Bleeding gums?

Question

I had white filling in my molar about a month ago. Whenever I floss, that molar area always bleed more than usual. I've had white fillings before and it has never bleed this long before. Could something have gone wrong? Did anyone else experienced ​this?

Answer

Does the filling go in between your teeth or does it go down close to your gums where they bleed? You could have and overhang where the filling isn't contoured properly and flush with the tooth. It causes food and bacteria to get stuck underneath against the gums which then causes inflammation of the tissue which causes bleeding. I would have the dentist check the filling. The check and any necessary repair/modification should be done at no cost to you. I should mention that I'm a dental hygienist. Hope that helps!
