Swollen gums at the back of my mouth, sometimes when eating or talking, i tend to bite on the cheek which is very painful?

Wisdom Tooth?: Your wisdom tooth may be erupting, best to see a local dentist to be sure. Most people don't have enough room in their mouths for these teeth.

Is it?: Is it your gums that are swollen, your cheeks that are swollen, or both? In any case, you need to be examined to determine the cause of the swelling which can vary from malocclusion to gum disease to growths to trauma, to many other possibilities. Please see your Dentist.
