Swollen gums, need dental insurance
A little over a week ago I was chewing some gum for about an hour or more when my gum was hurting around a crowned tooth. I stop and the pain when away shortly afterwords.  So I did not think to much of it.
Yesterday I was chewing some gum and the same thing started to happen again. So I stopped chewing the gum. However today I notice my gums around my crown tooth is red and puffy. It also hurt when I try to brush over the area.
I am not sure if it is the gum that is the issue or if something is wrong with my gums or the old crown I have. I would have it checked out but I do not have dental insurance and can not afford to go to the dentist. Is there some cheap dental insurance that I can get for this issue so I can have it looked at by a dentist?
