My wisdom teeth have been taken out over a year ago but now my gums are swollen and painful. they aren't really red... any suggestions?

Swollen gums: Seek attention from a dentist today May be gingivitis and you could benefit from antibiotics or may be other issues l.F/u with dentist

Gingivitis ?: if it's been more than six months since your last check-up and cleaning, now's the time to make an appointment. You may have calculus in those hard to reach areas.

See a dentist or OS: I would get to the dentist/oral surgeon who extracted the wisdom teeth asap

Gum disease: Swollen and painful gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. Untreated gingivitis can advance to periodontitis and can eventually lead to the gap between the teeth, tooth loss and other health problems. See your dentist ASAP because the sooner you treat it the better the outcome.

Gingivitis: it sounds like you have not seen a dentist since your wisdom teeth were extracted. Swollen gums are a symptom to gum disease. See a dentist ASAP. Have you teeth and gums evaluated and get your teeth cleaned asap

Examination: Swelling may indicate infection. Important that you see your Dentist, or the Oral Surgeon that removed your wisdom teeth, immediately. Doubtful that it is related to your previous surgery, but swelling must be addressed ASAP.
