Is this considered preventative dental treatment?

I've worn away some gum at the base of several teeth from brushing too hard; they're kind of deep so my dentist wants to fill them. He said I could have problems from the blood vessels constricting. So is this considered a preventative service? I'm asking b/c I don't have dental insurance but if I get it, preventative services don't have a waiting period. Thanks.

Nope. Fillings are a basic service. Only x-rays, exams, cleanings, sealants are considered preventative. These are services meant to prevent fillings from needing to be done.
