Red, swollen gums that are painful are a classic symptom of active gum disease due to bacterial plaque around the teeth. Sore, swollen gums are your body's way of getting your attention to let you know that gingivitis has started or is progressing into more severe forms of periodontitis.
Here's some great ways to fight and treat gum disease.
Swollen gums around a tooth can also be a side effect of:
Prescription medications
Pregnancy
Birth control pills
Active ingredients in toothpaste
Viral infections
Fungal infections
Improperly fitted dentures
Allergic reactions
Orthodontic treatment
Wisdom tooth eruption
Swollen gums from braces are usually due to how difficult it is to keep the area thoroughly clean as well as a response to metallic appliances within your mouth. If you have swollen gums around wisdom teeth or erupting teeth, this tends to be a normal part of the eruption process although it could be an indicator of a cyst formation.Looking for a 100% all-natural liquid tooth oil and mouth rinse?
