Swollen gums, also known as gingival swelling, is that condition whereby the tissue surrounding the teeth becomes inflamed. This condition can affect either one or more areas of the gums and causes a range of symptoms including discomfort and pain plus redness or bleeding.
Swollen gums usually indicate an underlying condition. Often, they are caused by irritation of the gum tissue from poor oral hygiene, infections, or gum disease. Inflammation can occur at any point within the gums but is most visible around the teeth where food particles and plaque accumulate.
