Gum Pain

I have noticed some redness and slight swelling on my gums above
where a tooth was extracted some time back.I have no pain except when I press down on it.Thanks

It might be that you are traumatizing the tissue while eating. i would have it looked at by your dentist.

it could also be an absess (abscess), or perhaps a fragment of the wisdom tooth was left behind.  have it x-rayed and checked out.
