If you have gum swelling that is irritating or painful, you must not ignore it.

You may have some food or other item lodged in your gum or stuck between gum and teeth. This needs to be gently removed before your gum gets infected.

Your oral hygiene routine needs to include attention to gums, ensuring you clean between your teeth with a pic and/or floss.

You should also use mouthwash regularly against gingivitis, but it should be a mouthwash that is not full of alcohol compounds that dry your mouth out and have the potential to give you more problems.
