Question:
Swollen gums: What can I do to get rid of swollen, painful and bleeding gums? .... Visitor from TX
Answer:
Swollen, painful and bleeding gums are a sign of infection.
This type of infection, called periodontal disease, can affect your overall health, including making you more prone to heart attack and stroke.
Your best bet would be to see a dentist for an examination, x-rays, and a course of treatment including dental cleanings to make your gums healthy.
