Many people occasionally experience swollen, irritated gums. Initially, gum inflammation (gingivitis) typically doesn’t result in any significant issues. Gingivitis sometimes goes away again, it could also continue for a long time, worsen, and turn into periodontitis which is the inflammation of the soft tissue and bone that holds our teeth firmly in place causing teeth to lose over time.

Gingivitis frequently results in swollen gums, coupled with other conditions such as nutrient deficits, hormonal shifts, or infections. There are numerous alternative methods to assist in treating and preventing swollen gums, depending on the cause.
