Swollen Gums

Swollen gums, or gingivitis, can be caused by malnutrition, allergic reactions to toothpastes or mouthwashes, badly-fitting dentures, or by infections. If they are not treated, you might end up with periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is associated with heart disease and some kinds of cancer.
