What Causes Swollen And Painful Gums?

My gum is swollen and painful on the top right side, near the back where my wisdom teath used to be (they were removed 18 months ago). The glands in my neck on the same side are also slightly swollen and it aches a bit round my right eye. Do you know what this could be?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have swollen and painful gums dont worry it can be due to inflammation in gums due to periodontal problem or due to molar tooth present that is second molar may be carious or periodontal problem.

May be periodontal abscess or periapical abscess is there .

You can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

Apply Stolin gum paint on painful seollen gums two - three times a day

Consult dentist and go for investigations and oral prophylaxis .

Hope this will help you.
