[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query.First I would like to tell you that swollen gums are due to tooth decay and food lodgment in gums and not at all mouth cancer. So don't worry at all. Now moving to your complaint. As u told you have tooth decay and food gets lodged in your gums . The swollen gums can be due to two reasons.1. If you have tooth decay which have extended to the pulp chamber(a central inner part of tooth where there are nerves and blood vessels), then it causes inflammation and can lead to pain and when this infection reaches below root tips of infected tooth it can cause pus formation and swelling appears in the gums.2. Other reason is swelling in gums can also be due to infection in gums due to food impaction leading to bacterial growth which causes swelling and pus filled blister in gums... I would suggest you to visit a dentist and get an IOP AR (x-ray) done and will find out whether the swollen gums are due to tooth or gums. If it is due to tooth ROOT CANAL TREATMENT and antibiotics n painkillers will solve your problem. If it is due to infected gums scaling and filling of the decayed tooth along with antibiotics and gum paint will help you get cured. Hope you get well soon... Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
