Common Causes of Swollen Gums

  • Gingivitis: Plaque buildup irritates the gums, causing them to become swollen and inflamed.
  • Dental Abscess: A localized infection can cause a significant, painful swelling on the gum near the affected tooth.
  • Medication Side Effects: Certain drugs can cause the gum tissue to overgrow, a condition known as drug-induced gingival enlargement.
  • Poor Nutrition: A deficiency in vitamins, especially Vitamin C, can contribute to gum swelling.
