I'm 22 years old, I had cavities and it has been filled 2 months ago but now it's like something stuck there and a bit pain in gums. What should I do?

Good evening! You should get checked first to know whether the broken filling has got into gums. If the filling is broken do refilling. For gums APPLY SENSOFORM GUM PAINT. Thank you :)

Most probably the filling is broken and lodged in gum due to occlusal/ chewing forces. If so, it has to be filled again and gum will heal once broken material is removed, you can try among orasore gel, rexidine m forte gel, dentogel, dologel CT etc whatever is prescribed by your dentist at that time. If filling breaks again and again, ask for capping as a Permanent solution.
