How can i reduce gum swelling?

Brush and floss: The most important thing you can do is brush and floss your teeth. You should brush after every meal and floss at least once a day. You can also rinse with warm salt water to help kill bacteria and that will also help with the swelling.

Careful care: Start with a professional cleaning, if possible, then brush carefully and floss properly everyday---these are items that must be demonstrated, and cannot be completely explained in this forum.

See a dentist: A professional cleaning, scaling and evaluation are critical to dealing with plaque. Proper home care instructions and cooperation will be the next step in moving forward.

Depends: Gum swelling must have an underlying cause to it. Looking for it and treating it will help resolve the swelling. If it's infection, an antibiotic may be needed. If it's associated with a procedure you may have had, you may need to call your dentist for advice. You can take an antiinflammatory medication, such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen (directions on the bottle) to begin with.

Remove the cause: Pain, bleeding, or as in your case swelling, is a red flag telling you your body is in trouble. Gum swelling usually caused by infection or trauma. Please see your Dentist to diagnose the cause of your inflammation and for the correct treatment protocol.
