Re-evaluation: Your periodontal health needs to be re-evaluated. Call a periodontist for an appointment. A full set of radiographs and periodontal charting would be necessary to give you any other advice.

See your dentist: Swollen gums can be a sign that you already have, an advanced gum disease. The bacteria and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” on teeth causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed and increase abnormally in size. See your dentist for a deep scaling and root planning.
