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).
small red bump on the tongue is the intimation or symptoms of tongue ulcer.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, typically presents with symptoms such as swollen, red, or bleeding gums, bad breath, and receding gums. In more advanced stages, it can lead to the formation of pockets between the teeth and gums, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss. The gums may appear inflamed, and there can be a buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth. If not treated, periodontal disease can progress to severe forms, affecting the supporting structures of the 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.
Some of the common symptoms for gum disease are bad breath, red or swollen gums, tender or bleeding gums, painful chewing, loose teeth, sensitive teeth, receding gums or longer appearing teeth.
Signs of gum disease:Gums that bleed after brushing or flossing.Red and swollen gums.Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth.Loose teeth.Receding gums or wearing away of the teeth.Gums that bleed easilyBecause Gingivitis symptoms are easy to ignore people often do just that. Many gingivitis patients don't even know they have Gingivitis.
Your gums bright red too? It's probably abcessed. See a dentist immediately!
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.
That is the gum tissue filling in the space and healing to eventually be like the rest of your gums.
It sounds like an abscess. I would get it checked out
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.
