Suggest Remedy For Tooth Cavity

Hello
I previously went to the dentist to have a cavity cure because I had a hole in the back of the middle of my 2 front teeth the very front ones after a week I notice a small red spot next to my tooth but I really didn't thought it was a big deal and it went away but now after a moth I notice it came back and it bleeds
I never had this before but whenever I floss I easily bleed. Can some one explain please

Hello
It might be due to gingivitis at that area due to food lodgement between the teeth, maybe the filling you had is causing food retention at the site.
You need to show to the dentist for correction.
For temporary relief you could use warm saline gargle along with flossing to heal the inflammed gingiva.
Thank you.
