A member asked:
Why are my gums swollen and hurt very bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: If all of your gums are swollen and hurt, they are inflamed, infected, or both. When was the last time you visited a dentist for a thorough cleaning and exam? It appears you are overdue. Please make the call for an appointment and feel better soon...
