The swelling can be due to an injury to your gums while eating or because of wisdom tooth eruption or due to a decayed tooth etc. Clinical examination by a dentist is necessary for proper diagnosis. Meanwhile you can do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day for some relief.

You should get an opg done. This will help evaluate the amount of decay, the position of your tooth roots as well as proximity of the roots to the underlying nerve. Then the decision can be taken whether to get it removed or not. Kindly consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the same.

Hello lybrate-user.
Yes at times it does happen that grafted bone does not grow 100% & hence your tooth is still weak. You can either wait & check if the bone healing improves or you can get a smile design done which will improve your smile to some extent. It is not an alternative to braces but in some cases smile design gives better result than braces.
