Hello, if the gums are swollen in a particular region where the tooth is root canal treated and crown is placed it is because of food deposit between the tooth and the gums and that area needs deep cleaning and after that you have to maintain the oral hygeine. Rest if its generalised in all your mouth than either it could be because of deposits which requires geneal or deep cleaning or it could be because of any deficiency or any allergy. Visit a dentist thanks.
