What Could Cause Sore, Swollen Gums With White Patches?
The outer side of my lower gums and where that gum meets my inner cheek (on the right) are sore and swollen and a very dark red colour with white bits. Yesterday it wasnt swollon but after using a strong mouthwash I noticed small red sores. Do you know what this is? There is no lump so I dont think its an absess.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
These soreness og gums can be sinus opening of an infected tooth, as in case when a tooth is infected abscess forms below that tooth, and it drains from sinus.
But you have to go for some x - ray examination to get it confirmed. You should visit your dentist for this.
Hope it will help you.
