Can Juvederm Seep into the Gums and Teeth?

Question

Is it possible for Juvederm to seep into the gums and teeth?  Can it also cause gum and teeth pain after three months of injection into the folds of my chin on each side of my mouth?

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

It is not likely for any filler to have delayed migration into the gum tissues. The migration would have happened in the first 2 days of the injection. After that it is almost impossible.

Hi May,
Juvederm will not migrate to the gums and teeth.  If you are having pain in those areas you should visit your dentist for an exam.  Good luck and be well.

Juvederm and other injectable products do not migrate into the gums and teeth.  If you provide pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice.

Juvederm injection pretty much goes where it was injected. I have never seen it migrate, and after a few days, it pretty much is firm. If you are having gum and tooth pain, I suggest you see a dentist or oral surgeon. I doubt the two are related.

No, Juvederm won't seep into the surrounding tissues like the gums..it's to thick of a substance for that to happen.
