Might be: You might also have an abscessed tooth. Why guess? See a local dentist, it needs to be treated before it worsens.

CHECK IT OUT: Could be a number of issues- infection, blood blister, trapped food, etc. Best to get to a dentist and evaluate and treat. Do not try and treat yourself

Can you reverse swollen gums due to gingivitis?
Part of gums is swollen since braces. Dentists says it's gingivitis, to floss daily, and it'll be gone in a month. When I floss, it swells and bleed.
Suddenly, severely swollen & bleeding gums with extremely swollen and painful lymph nodes. No pre-existing gingivitis or plaque accumulation. 4 days.
My gums have been red and swollen for 3 days, and I have noticed bleeding while brushing my teeth during this time. Does that sound like gingivitis?
Gums are still light pink and not swollen, is this still a sign of gum disease or could it just be a cut?
