Swollen gums: You will need to see a dentist to determine the cause of your swollen gums. It could be food stuck in-between the teeth, under the gums, a gum or tooth infection or something else.

You need: You need to be examined. Could be gum infection, food impaction, abscessed tooth, or literally hundreds of other causes. Please call your Dentist for an examination, differential diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
