Q: My gums are sore. I have a burning pain throughout my mouth. I’ve heard that old fillings may have some kind toxin in them. Could this be the problem? If so, what should be done?
A: All fillings should be evaluated periodically for marginal integrity, decay, potential open margins, leakage, and biologically correct fit and contour. These All are factors to consider whether a new filling is necessary. This is best discussed with a restorative dentist. The second issue is your burning gums. A consult with the Periodontist would also be advisable.
