Suggest Remedy For Dental Problem

Hello, I m 22 and I ve been diagnosed with general aggressive periodontal disease. Due to long time non healing ulcers I wasn t able to brush my teeth properly from November to june. Now my ulcers have healed and I m giving it my 100% to save my teeth as I ve lost my 90% of jawbone.I have been stressing alot about this but after ulcers I still had a slight swelling behind my upper front tooth it s been ok up till now but today all of a sudden it swelled up a lot and it s hurting aswell it s a big lump now.I have an appointment with my dentist in a week, is this something serious or can you please help.Thank you
