Thank you for your question. When it comes to dermal fillers like Juvederm, active infections in the mouth—such as periodontal disease, gum infections, or tooth abscesses—can increase the risk of complications. Fillers are generally not recommended in areas near active infections, because bacteria can potentially spread to the filler injection site, leading to inflammation, swelling, or even more serious infections. It’s best to treat and resolve any active periodontal disease first before considering chin filler. Once your oral health is stable, filler injections can be performed safely. In the meantime, maintaining excellent oral hygiene and following your dentist’s treatment plan will help ensure your safety and the best possible outcome if you decide to proceed with filler later.
