What should I do for red and swollen gums?

The cause should be analyzed according to specific circumstances, and systemic factors should be eliminated after diagnosis to resolve the issue. If gingival redness and swelling are caused by an infection-related inflammatory response, the primary treatment involves removing the local source of infection and eliminating the inflammation. For gingivitis or periodontitis, brushing teeth to remove dental calculus and plaque is essential, followed by maintaining oral hygiene through regular brushing. Additionally, oral antibiotics can help alleviate gingival inflammation. Eating more fruit is also an effective way to relieve swollen and painful gums. The abundant vitamins and trace elements in fruits can be absorbed by the body, and supplementing vitamin C, which the body needs, can help reduce swelling.
