Suggest Cure For Pain And Swelling In Gums

My gums are swollen behind my two front teeth. It is like in between the two front teeth and is coming through the front. It hurts extremely bad and affects my chewing. I ve tried flossing, using scope mouthwash, and brushing the area. It had been this way for four days. I m 16 by the way.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and swelling in the gums can be a inflammatory gingival enlargement because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits below the gums. Nothing to be panic, once the deposits becomes hard and forms calculus, it cannot be cleaned with floss or brushing. So consult a dental surgeon and get your teeth cleaned. If the gingival enlargement is not reduced after this, then you have to go for gingivectomy or surgical removal of the excess gums.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
