Can a cavity on the gum line be filled?

Yes, it can be filled, assuming there isn't a crown there already. Check with your dental provider and I'm sure they can help you with that!
A cavity on the gum line can most definitely be filled with an esthetic restoration and will look just like the original tooth structure, provided that the amount of decay isn't so bad as to destroy the tooth. If you wait too long, and the nerve is harmed, it will be more expensive and the treatment more extensive. Don't wait. Please see your dentist, make an appointment, and have the problem fixed.
