You may get a second opinion for the exact cause of swollen gums .Most of the time gum gets swollen due to pockets ( infection in gum) which can be cured by professional cleaning followed by warm water saline rinse.

Hi! Swollen gums usually happen due to plaque or infection. Maintain good brushing, use warm salt-water rinses, and visit the dentist for cleaning. If it’s painful or with pus, you may need medicines and treatment! Also please share the picture of swollen gums for better advice!
