If your gums are swollen, red and puffy it sounds like you are suffering from gum disease. The best option for you would be to visit a dentist who has a hygienist available. Your fillings and teeth may be absolutely fine, but your gums don’t sound very happy.

You may need a few visits with the hygienist or you may need to visit a Periodontist, who is a gum specialist. But when you visit your dentist they will be able to advise you on this.
