In general, swollen gums are a sign of infection. Review home care and treatment options with your dentist as soon as you can so the condition doesn't worsen.
A warm salt water rinse will help. Mix 1 tsp of salt for every 8 ounces of water. Rinse as many times as you would like throughout the day.
If you are experiencing swollen gums treatment would depend on the correct diagnosis by your dentist. Treatment could range from regular to deep cleaning or even a biopsy. Your dentist should evaluate your individual condition first to then be able to perform the correct treatment.
Hi. Swollen gums are usually the consequences of food debris and tartar build up lingering over the gums, and around the teeth. These are a most common causes, and treatment is cleaning. Visit your dentist he will advice you in how to maintain your gums healthy
