Bonding on Teeth Revised: Gums swollen and Purple with an Infection: Should I be Concerned?

Sweetlins
bonding on my 4 front teeth. bonding on them for years (inbetween each tooth to fill gaps) with no problem. 2 years ago got redone, this time the bonding completely covers natural teeth and go up into gums. gum above my front 2 teeth was swollen and purple. went to new dentist in the X-rays it shows bonding comes to a sharp edge in gums on the one tooth which caused infection. Got prescription for periogard and the swelling has subsided but take a mirror and look at the back of front teeth there is a black line between the bonding and natural tooth and all bonded teeth wiggle. Just wondering how concerned I should be
