What otc medicine gets rid of swollen gums?

Not many: It depends why you gums are swollen.... Looking for a quick fix in the drugstore is not the answer. Dental problems usually need a dentist to treat them. You may have periodontal disease.

See a dentist: If your gums are swollen the only way is to find the cause some toothpastes will delay gingivitis but you probably need a good cleaning to remove any deposits irritating your gums causing them to swell a periodontist treats gum problems.
