What Causes Swollen Gums Around Canine Teeth?

My gums have turned white between my teeth so that my gums looks like light pink triangles. Also, around my canine teeth my gums look swollen on both sides with a flat looking surface. On my lower lip on the inside of my mouth these past two days small clear bumps have developed. I'm terrified that this might be serious. What could it be?

Gum swelling is often associated with localized infection called abscess. Definitive treatment would be to relieve the localized infection and intiate gum treatment.
