Best Answer

It is likely due to the injections received to numb the area previous to the actual filling. It can be caused by the dentist hitting gum accidentally with the drill or something. Or the dentist flossing too hard, or the clamps they put around teeth when filling can aggravate the gum line, or the filling itself if the hole is close to the gum line.
