I have always had healthy gums, so why all of a sudden do I have pain and swelling?

Q.

Hi there dr jose, the other day I had a sudden localized swelling in lower gingiva, yet I have no history of trauma or gum disease and have always had healthy gums. Yet I have one tooth that is very tender, this is associated with swelling which filled with blood only after the second day, is there a diagnosis that you could give me or any advice to get rid of it and prevent it coming back? thanks for your time

Q.

Hello recently i have noticed on my bottom jaw at the top of my gum in between my teeth it is quite red and sore i am very worried about this . I wear invisible retainers that i have to wear all the time and a lot of plaque builds up quickly. i googled gum disease and my teeth don’t look as bad as the images that came up. Do i have the early stages of gum disease? Or is is just temporary swollen gums? I have only noticed the swellings in the last day.
