Start Calling: There are little if any home remedies for dental issues. Your swollen gingiva may be from food impaction in a carious lesion, periodontal issues, or even a wisdom tooth that is erupting. Please call a local dentist for an appointment.

Home Remedy: Sounds like may have an infected tooth (abscess) or infected gums (pericoronitis). Unfortunately there are no OYC remedies. Please see your Dentist for an evaluation and then the proper treatment plan based on the diagnosis.
