Hello Welcome to HCM ,

I have gone through your query , see you have undergone temporary filling in tooth but now you have swollen gum this can be due to periodontal problem or periapical infection at your temporary restored tooth .

There is nothing to worry but you should consult your dentist and go for IOPA Xray to evaluate swollen gum is due to periodontal problem or periapical infection .

In meatime you can do luke warm saline gargle two - three times a day .

Hope this will help you.
