Hello, thank you for your question about Figaro. Swelling around the tooth could be due to infection, severe dental disease, or possibly a growth. If the area is painful I would be concerned about an infection or dental disease leading to significant gingivitis. I would recommend having Figaro seen by your veterinarian so that they can examine this swelling and discuss the most likely underlying cause. Hope this helps, good luck!
