Isolated swelling on the gum above one tooth could indicate a couple of problems, such as a feline dental resorption or an abscessed tooth. In both cases, immediate veterinary care is indicated. Left untreated, cervical line lesions (also known as feline dental resorptions) are especially painful and can lead to tooth loss in cats.
