What Causes Swollen Roof Of The Mouth And Change In The Gum Color?
the roof of my mouth is swollen behind my front teeth and my gums have changed color. They are a light pink in that area and really tender. I was using a strong mouthwash and I seemed to notice this change after. It has been a couple of months since I used the mouthwash, but I still have the problem.

Hello,
The type of lesion you are mentioning that you are having swollen with red gums it looks that, you are having inflammation of gums called as gingivitis.
In that case you should visit a dentist and complete cleaning of gums and tooth done.
Hope it will help you.
