I had a periodontal cleaning on my front teeth nd a regular cleaning on the rest.. my gums are extremely swollen and very tender is this normal?

It is common: Yes, your gums may also be sore or swollen after deep cleaning. Use warm salt water and NSAID OTC for pain control. Any swelling and discomfort should subside in a few days (aprox. 7days).

Yes: Cleaning can involve going below the gum line to remove plaque and food. This can irritate the gums and cause bleeding. Perhaps you can see the dentist or call them as soon as possible. Consider gargling with warm salt water and taking over the counter pain medicines.

Yes, it is: Periodontitis is a severe inflammation of the gums with possible pocketing. The scaling and root planing is meant to remove the calculus adhering to your teeth. The process can cause already inflamed gums to hurt even more, but as they heal and tighten up, the pain will disappear, the bleeding will stop, your breath will be fresher, and you will stand a chance of saving your teeth. All the best...

Surgery: You had a surgical procedure done. Some people heal faster than others. I am concerned about the swelling and the need for a deep cleaning, both of which indicate gum disease. Evaluation by a gum/bone specialist, a Periodontist, is most definitely in order.
