What Causes Swelling And Soreness In Gums?
i woke up this morning with a layer of skin "shedding" off my top gum and cheek. then the spot became red and bled a little. the last few months ive noticed a little blood in my saliva. my wisdom teeth have been coming through the last few years so i was assuming that was the cause. its also doing this around two teeth on the bottom. ive had swollen gums in the previous months but its gone away by the next day. ?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling and soreness in the gums and blood in saliva can be because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits9calculus) below the gums. The shedding of the mucosa or gums can be because of desquamative gingivitis. Nothing to be panic, consult a dental surgeon and get your teeth cleaned. Take an opinion regarding desquamative gingivitis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
