[|Human|] I had a fractured molar filled almost 2 weeks ago.  There is no pain from the tooth but there is sharp shooting pain through my gum right before the molar(by the way, there is no tooth before the fractured molar, it was pulled many years ago).  So the gum in front of the filled molar is sore and a little swolen.  Is this just inflammation from the procedure or possibly an infection?
[|AI|]  Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Pain and swelling in gums adjacent to the filled tooth indicated the spread of infection from the infected tooth to the surrounding area.  Pain in gums adjacent to an already filled tooth indicates the presence of infection below the filling.  It indicates bacterial decay or infection in the tooth that involves the exposed tooth nerve tissues. You need to get an x-ray done the affected area to confirm the presence of infection, approach a dentist for the treatment. Such infected tooth needs to be treated by a root canal procedure, so please consider getting the treatment done by consulting a dentist. I hope this helps, take care
