I recently got a spice stuck in my tooth.  So I used dental flawce. Did all of my teeth while I was at it.  I only do this once a year.  The next day I ate popcorn at movies which irritated the area where I had the spice.  The following day after that, I woke up with swollen gums around a few teeth where the spice was.  swollen of gum is getting better, little tenderness when I bite down but that too is getting better.  But have concern that I noticed two little red spots on roof of mouth as well.  they are not painful, just concerned why they are there. Any thoughts or concerns I should have?
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have swollen gum with red spot on roof of mouth this can be due to inflammation in gums secondary to periodontal pocket, red spot can be due to thermal burn don't worry I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses two - three times a day, and you can apply ointment gum paint on gums like stolen and Mugel or McCoppin two - three times a day. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.
