Tooth bonding is usually a gentle dental treatment. A dentist adds tooth-colored resin to the tooth. Shapes it to look natural. It\u2019s not a procedure. If that resin goes too close to your gums it can cause discomfort.<\/p>\n
The problem begins when bonding reaches far down toward the gumline. If the edge isn\u2019t smooth plaque can build up around it. Your gums take notice. They may turn red swell up or feel tender. You might also see a blood when you brush.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s another issue. If the bonding feels a little rough it can make cleaning that area than it should be. You might keep brushing the spot because it just never feels clean. That\u2019s annoying.<\/p>\n
A good bonding job should blend into the tooth. It shouldn\u2019t create a shelf near the gum. If there\u2019s an overhang, food and plaque can get trapped underneath or beside it. That\u2019s a place for gum irritation to begin.<\/p>\n
Most of the signs are signs of gum irritation. You might feel soreness when you floss. Your gums could look puffier than normal. Bad breath can show up too if plaque keeps gathering around the bonded area.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Red or puffy gums around the bonded tooth especially if they weren\u2019t like that before.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Bleeding during brushing or flossing. A single spot isn\u2019t a deal. If it happens often it\u2019s worth checking out.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Food getting stuck near the bonding. That\u2019s often a sign the edge needs to be checked.<\/p>\n
Start by brushing and flossing gently around the tooth. Don\u2019t scrub harder just because the gum is bleeding. That usually makes the irritation worse.<\/p>\n
If the problem keeps returning see your dentist. They can look at the bonding. Decide whether the edge needs polishing or reshaping. Sometimes the fix is very small.<\/p>\n
No. Tooth bonding is generally an option when it\u2019s placed right and kept clean. I wouldn\u2019t blame the material first if your gums suddenly start acting up.<\/p>\n
