Swollen gums can be your mouth’s way of asking for attention.
Plaque buildup and gingivitis are common causes, but irritation, hormonal changes, certain medications, and other health factors may also contribute. Gums that appear red, puffy, tender, or bleed during brushing should not be ignored, even if they are not painful.
During Gum Care Month, take a moment to check in with your gums. If swelling persists, a dental evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the right next step for your smile.
