This is gross, just warning you. But yes your gums can be swollen and red (because the nerves keeping the teeth intact to the gums have been pulled).

What kind of gum disease that your gum is coming from your teeth?
There are several types of gum diseases. The first is called gingivitis, which can, without treatment and care, become the more advanced version called periodontitis. Gingivitis is relatively easy to fix, but can be prevented through proper brushing and flossing techniques. Another gum problem, although it is not a disease, is called receding gums. This is when the gums slowly pull away from the teeth. It occurs from one of two ways: overbrushing or not brushing enough. You can tell if you have gingivitis or periodontitis if your gums are red, swollen, and bleed to the touch. Receding gums can be identified when too much of the tooth is exposed, and the tooth is too far into the gums.

What is the difference between plaque and tartar?
Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria that forms on teeth daily. It is the main cause of cavities and gum disease, and can harden into tartar if not removed each day.Plaque causes cavities when the acids in plaque attack your teeth after eating. With repeated acid attacks, your tooth enamel can break down and a cavity may form. Children are the most cavity-prone, but adults can also get tooth decay.Gum disease starts with plaque above the gumline. Plaque that is not removed can irritate the gums around your teeth leading to gingivitis (red, swollen, bleeding gums). As plaque builds up and moves below the gumline, your gums can pull away from your teeth, which can lead to tooth loss.

Why does my cat cry when she eats she has red inflamed gums around her teeth?
The red inflamed gums are the reason your cat is crying: She is finding it very painful to eat her food. Inflamed gums suggest the cat has some sort of dental or gum infection and should be taken to the vets immediately to be treated. There is very little you can do at home as dental infections usually start below the gumline and not on the tooth itself.
Should there be white spots on your gums after a tooth extraction?
After having teeth pulled, it is not uncommon for the gums in the extraction site to appear white or pale. This whitish or pale appearance is typically temporary and part of the normal healing process. Here are a few reasons why the gums may turn white after tooth extraction: Healing process: White gums are often a result of the normal healing process following a tooth extraction. During the initial stages of healing, blood flow to the area may be temporarily reduced, causing the gums to appear paler than usual. Blood clot formation: After a tooth extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the underlying bone and facilitate healing. This blood clot can sometimes appear white or whitish-yellow in color. Fibrin layer: As part of the healing process, a fibrin layer may develop over the extraction site. This layer can appear white and is composed of proteins involved in blood clotting. Sloughing of dead tissue: Following tooth extraction, the body may naturally shed dead tissue and cells as part of the healing process. This shedding can give the gums a white or whitish appearance. While these temporary white gums are generally considered normal, it's essential to monitor the healing process for any signs of infection or complications. If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, increasing swelling, persistent white patches, or other concerning symptoms, it is important to contact your dentist or oral surgeon for further evaluation and guidance. They will be able to assess the specific situation and provide appropriate advice or treatment if necessary.
