Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that the filling which the dentist has done was impinging on the gums, that is why the gums are swollen, and because of this only the gums was inflammed and were bleeding.
Better that once you should visit your dentist and get them refilled. Till then you can use mouthwash for relief.
Hope it will help you.
