Swollen Gum

I had my braces for strengthened yesteday about the sixth time. They never really hurt .. this property on the left side of my lower jaw seems really swollen gum around my molar .. it does not really hurt .. and I've never noticed this before it is bloated. Urm I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what it is? I'm going to the dentist for a check up anyway in less than a week. So if there is a problem, she will say, but I wonder if anyone has an idea of what could be?

I am 15 by the way .. if people are questioning the wisdom teeth. That's what I thought it might be, but I have no space at all on my lower jaw for them and would not be my orthodontist said something yesterday. Well, it would not probs as it does not tell me something. But yeh you get the point.

If you have a band around the back molars that you got a bit of food caught and it caused swelling of the gums. Rinse with warm salt water, brush and floss thoroughly and really bring to the attention of your dentist when you next week.

I had the same thing when I was a little getting used to my braces. well, you do not brush your gums. Need more brush on your gums. Just do this and make your gums stronger. Good luck
