Dental 4 Less, Why are the back of my gums swollen?

Question:  My teeth seem to be fine but my gums in the back bottom of my mouth look to be swollen and are a little sore.

Answer: The most common cause of gum swelling is gingivitis. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum lining at the base of the teeth. Mild cases of gingivitis will respond to increased dental hygiene (regularly, daily brushing and flossing) to remove bacteria and food debris between the gum and the teeth.  More severe cases may require a deeper dental cleaning, which can be performed at your dentist’s office.
