Swollen gums and tooth pain often occur together and may be caused by gum disease, tooth decay, a dental abscess, food trapped beneath the gums, or an erupting wisdom tooth. Symptoms such as redness, bleeding, sensitivity, swelling, or pain when chewing should not be ignored. While warm saltwater rinses and good oral hygiene may provide temporary relief, persistent pain, facial swelling, fever, or pus require prompt dental care to prevent the infection from worsening.
