Gingivitis: Very much so. I would practice good dental hygiene and see your dentist or an endodontist.

Yes: The problem can be site specific. See your dentist regularly and brush/floss twice a day to prevent your problem from getting worse.

Gingivitis: May be localized or generalized. Have it treated early for least damage and best results. Please see your Dentist.

Yes: Due to tooth and arch anatomy, irregularities of brushing and several other factors the gums may be swollen in one area and healthier in another. Have the dentist check it out.
