What Causes My Gums To Bleed?
Hi im 32 and I had never had problems with my gums, I recently had a cavity that was fixed, but now the problem is that the gum in that specific tooth had a black spot, bleed and hurt (i feel the pain from my tooth to my head including my ears) what should I do? Is that an infection?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that the infection of the tooth has reached the pulp means blood supply, so now it is causing an abscess in the apex of the tooth , this abscess is only forming this black spot which is bleeding and painful, so better you visit your dentist again and get an x - ray done which will show the infection and get it treated.
Hope it will help you.
