Swollen gums from?: There are many possible causes such as mouth breathing, medications, hormonal changes, etc. However, the most likely cause is gingivitis from plaque & calculus on your teeth. When was your last dental checkup including a professional dental cleaning? Have you ever asked your dentist or hygienist to show you how best to brush and floss? Do you brush & floss for at least 2 minutes? See your dentist

See details: Periodontal disease is most often related to poor dental hygiene. See a dentist regularly routine care and this will go a long way to prevent this issue. Rarely, gingivitis can be a component of a more chronic disease.
