Hi..
Thanks for the query..

A fluid filled blister on the gum below the tooth that has a silver filling can be due to Periapical Infection causing abscess formation..

However it can also be due to gum Infection leading to gum boil formation..

Pain is none to minimal in cases where the fluid or pus drains off and due to which there is no pressure build up..

But to rule out the exact cause consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and an x ray should be done..

If there is tooth Infection then Root canal treatment can be done followed by antibiotics and painkillers..
If there is gum Infection then localised cleaning can be done followed by antibiotics and gum paint massage..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
