My gum is swollen and slimy just around 1 front tooth, never had dental work done, please help!

Needs evaluation: Your problem can be caused by so many different factors... guessing will not solve your condition. At twenty years old you should establish a relationship for care with a local dentist. Ask a trusted friend or co-worker for a referral.

Gingivitis: or gums abscess. A swollen gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. Call your dentist today for exam x-rays and treatment. Good luck.
