Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query , as you have swollen gums in upper front teeth dont worry it can be due to periodontal problem due not having proper oral hygiene or if you have carious tooth it can be due to Periapical pathology .
For this you should visit dentist and go for investigations if it is periodontal problem then go for Oral prophylaxis and if due to carious tooth then Root canal treatment should be done.
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
