Is gum swelling, infection, redness and spots due to the temporary filling?
Patient: My son, received a temporary tooth filling several months ago and now the gum around the said tooth is very swollen and has doubled in size within 24 hrs. It looks infected, with redness and white spots. Is the swollen related to the filling? He has doctors appointment and dentist appointment booked. Doctor: Thank you for chossing Healthcare Magic . I think your son has infection and is very good that you have an appointment with the dentist . this is because the tooth is not treated at the right moment . 1 endodontic treatment ,2 a treatment of infection ,3 and receipt of an antibiotic dose are the procedures that will be in your son's tooth . Thanks !
