Default Swollen gum

Kaitlyn complained that the back on her mouth hurts. I noticed her back gum in swollen. Could it be molars? Her 4th tooth came out a few weeks ago and seems like another is starting to get loose in the front. Maybe b/c of all these new teeth? Unfortunately, as of today, I dont have insurane, so cannot do anything til I do.

I imagine it's either a molar or she's eating an excess of sweets or salty food. Both cause me to get swollen gums when I overdo.

Has she had chips or crackers or somethng that could have gotten stuck in there? I've had that happen before.

Is your medical ins still active? If so you could take her to the pediatrician instead of the dentist if it still hurts.
