Why is my gum swollen and red :'(?!


Question: Why is my gum swollen and red :'(?
Well the left side of my mouth is swollen on the gums and I dont know why. My tooth has been hurting but the pain comes and goes. I recently went to the dentist to get an extraction on the other side of my mouth though. And I am scheduled to go in another two weeks. But when they took x-ray's the first time they didn't tell me anything about my left side and I don't know what to do! I know I eventually have to tell them! But I am scared I have an infection which I probably do! And I can die from! And I am just so scared! I have school today should I go or no? When I talk my whole left side of my mouth feels stiff and swollen! HELP PLEASE!

Sounds like a little inflammation o the gums.
First,
Brush the area gently but firmly-- it will bleed a little, but that is normal.
See your dentist for a professional cleaning
maintain impeccable oral hygiene.
