What Causes Pain And Swelling In Gums After A Cavity Fill?
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.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
Please quit tobacco immediately.Swollen gums can be due to poor oral hygiene.Tobacco not only makes stains on tooth but also causes bad breath.
He must get a sitting of professional scaling done.There is no problem with the filling as he has no pain in the tooth.Generalised gum health is poor.
Use gum tone gel on the gums and a mild mouth wash thrice a week.
Increase fiber food in diet. meal and snack.
Regards.
Have sugars as part of diet.Gargle after every
