  • Do gum line fillings hurt?

    If you are asking if having it done hurts, the answer is no because dentists usually have a way of making the area numb prior to getting any work done. Now, you need to look into why there is a problem at the gum line. Some reasons could be decay which usually presents as a change in the color of the tooth. Other reasons could be due to clenching or brushing too hard. It is always best to have a dentist evaluate the cause of the problem so that you can prevent the problem from getting worse or spreading. Good luck and I hope that helps! READ MORE
