Hello
Every 3months you get the cleaning done?
Kindly ask the dentist to teach you proper brushing technique so that tarter accumulation is minimized.
The swelling needs to be evaluated through the xray and assessment of the tooth as well.
Next Steps

After getting the teeth cleaned,you ll only have to use de-sensitizing agents for a week.

A small bump may indicate an infection, but an X-ray is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. After cleaning, ask your dentist to demonstrate the correct brushing and flossing techniques. Additionally, try to limit your intake of sugary and sticky foods to maintain better oral health
