A member asked:
My gum swelled up around my tooth, what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abscess: Can't tell if it's endodontic or periodontic, over the internet. But a local dentist who will examine you and take a radiograph will tell you exactly what your problem is and how to treat it.
