-Please share an image of the tooth with gums to give assured reason.
- If its minor swelling and the bleeding was just also at the time of impression it could be because of Crown preparation (cutting) and impression.
-Let the swelling reside before you get the capping done.
- Do warm saline rinses ( pinch of salt in lukewarm water) 3-4 times a day.
- Avoid hard brushing.
Next Steps
If you feel the swelling does not reside after 2 days visit your dentist.
