I recently had to go to my dentist as my gums were in a bit of a mess,he gave me anti-biotics and mouthwash,which i finished.But now after getting a filling my gums are sore and bleeding again and i think i may have an absess where the filling is,could my dentist be causing the infections?I cant think of any other explanation as i always brush my teeth properly.

First and foremost - call your dentist (or see another one) if you believe you have an absess. Your condition sounds worse then simple case of gum disease and needs attention. The last thing you need is for the infection to worsen.
The main cause of gum disease is bacterial plaque, a sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth. However, factors like the following also affect the health of your gums: smoking, genetics, puberty, pregnancy, stress, medications, diabetes, poor nutrition or a systemic illness.

You might possible have perodontal disease where the plaque has gotten from your teeth to the gums. You may need to go to another peroidontist to have hiim examine your mouth again. The plaque that occurs under the gum will "rot" away the gum tissue and that will have to be removed, surgerally. Also a "root-planeing" may be in order.

Be sure not to brush to hard as that can also cause bleeding.
Also, check the oral hygeine of the person you are kissing. There is a gum infection that can spread through that so check w/ your dentisit.

Plaque causes gum disease, but so do some illnesses.
See your dentist again. If you are still not convinced, see your Doctor.

call your dentist, not good to have these issues unattended...
if you don't know what it is, the infection can spread to other places...
