yes i am trying to help you. Go and get a water pik and clean your gums really well. Do this morning and night as well as flossing. Rinse w/ a good strong mouth wash. Food stuck in the gums can cause an infection. Also if you have a history of smoking or gum disease you are more likely to experience this. This treatment should help the gums. I don't think you have a tooth problem, but if you do it may delay your surgery. good luck
