Will this gap/black triangle between my teeth go away on its own? (Photo)

July 8, 2014
Asked By:Shesnotreal in Langley, BC

I had an old filling replaced recently, and have since noticed a small black triangular gap between the two teeth. While the dentist was filling/flossing between the two teeth after the bonding process, the gums did get irritated and bled a bit. Are the gums just irriated and need time to settle back down between the teeth? Or do I now need to fork out even more money and have the gap filled? There was no gap prior to this procedure. Thanks in advance for any replies.
