What Causes Swelling Of Gums?

Hi. Good day. I'm trying to find some information. On my top gum, by my teeth (between my two front teeth), it seems to be swollen. Also on the roof of my mouth there are some swellings and two white dots. I used a treatment called Bonjela. i have noticed this for two days now and I'm really trying to find out about this before anything serious happens. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump swollen gums can be because of the gum infection. The swelling and white spot on the roof the mouth can be secondary to tooth or gum infection forming an abscess. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out tooth infe tion.
If there is tooth infection, then it has to be treated with RCT.
If there is a gum infection then the teeth has to be cleaned.
Msanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination(if you are not allergic) after consulting the physician.
i hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
When there is swelling of gums it means there is an infection of gums which might be because of improper cleaning of teeth or food deposition between teeth.
Better that once you should visit a good dentist and get proper prophylaxis of gums and teeth done.
Hope it will help you.
