For swollen gums, see a periodontist!, While you get an appt. , brush your teeth AND gums with a soft toothbrush  2x a day, and have your dentist prescribe a mouthwash that contains Chlorhexidine.
Get professional help. Go to your dentist for evaluation and treatment.
Swollen gums can be a serious gum disease that needs to be addressed by a dental professionalASAP! Your dentist can refer you to a gum specialist (periodontist) for diagnosis and treatment.
If all of your gums are swollen, it indicates gum disease and you should see your dentist. You likely need a cleaning.
