i recently had a deep cleaning on this one tooth and noticed today that there is a small black (bumpy) spot on the outside surface of my gum.  It is starting to make my gum/tooth area a little sore.  I spoke to my dentist and he said that is most likely tartar and he would be able to look at it tomorrow.Im concerned and scared; does this seem possible that this can be tartar even after a deep cleaning was performed?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Went through the query. Yes it can be a speck of tartar left behind.as your dentist has told you that he will have a look, u shouldn't be too worried and relax. It can also be a little trauma to your gum, U can alternatively use a mouth wash two twice daily so that the sore gums will heal . Hope u have a speedy recoveryThanks and regards.
