Swollen gum
My gum has swollen after 6 months of rct. It's been 3 days.. what can be the reason?? There is no pain on any of my tooth nearby but in the swollen gum only. Can it be treated?? Do I have to remove my teeth?? Is there any other way then to remove teeth? Is it serious problem? I don't drink or smoke... can it be cancer?
