What do you suggest if my gum is swollen and filled with blood do i have gingivitis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Evaluation: I suggest you get evaluated ASAP by a local dentist. It might be gingivitis, it might be periodontitis, it might be an abscessed tooth... who knows? Can't tell without an exam and radiograph.

Yes, gingivitis: Bleeding gums can be a sign that you already have, 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. This is a serious problem, which should be checked professionally by a dentist. The good news is that this condition is curable. Call your dentist today!
