What Is The Cause For Swollen And White Gums?
My gums on my right side of my mouth are swollen and they look white. It is difficult to eat because of my gums are swollen. I was wondering if my overbight could be making me klench my mouth together at night causing the swollen gums. Does that mean I have an infection in my gums.
