What Causes Gums To Swell?
Earlier in the week I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. I woke up this morning and my top R side gum is extremely swollen and painful. When I brushed my teeth there was quite a good amount of blood. MY throat on that sied is also somewhat sore. I do still have my wisdom teeth (I'm 43). No fever.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have swollen gums it can be due to Periodontal problem may be formation of Periodontal Abscess .
Do consult dentist and go for IOPAxray if due to Periodontal problem then so for Scaling and Currettage .
Hope this will help you.
