What causes pain and swelling in gums after a cavity fill?
Patient: My friend constantly complains to tooth pain. He had cavity and had filled it recently. Now he is complaining of swollen gums though it doesn't pain and had weakness and nausea and felt feverish and weak. He smokes a lot and is in mid 20s. What could be the reason? I am bit worried for him.
