It usually manifests as swelling, redness, and pain. However, sometimes painless gum swelling can also be observed. This condition often arises due to gum diseases. Besides diseases, factors like diet, vitamin deficiencies, insufficient oral care, and smoking can also cause gum swelling. Treatment options include professional scaling, medication, and saltwater gargles, among multiple applications.
