Dear friend.  Thanks for sharing your concern. Gingival abscess could be due to any of these. 1.more commonly dental caries leads to periapical infection which then develops into abscess and forms the bumps on gingival.(gum). 2.improper oral hygiene, accumulation of plaque and calculus also leads to bacterial pocket upon infection. Also sometimes systemic condition predispose to gingival abscess, like pregnancy, diabes, etc. therefore I would say go for clinical evaluation once. It requires Chat Doctor.  Meanwhile a X-ray would help to understand any pathology underneath. .thanks. Take care
