Have Sore Bottom Gums Inside Of The Bottom Teeth, Tenderness Under Jaw. Suggest?
Question: I Have sore bottom gums on the inside of the the front bottom teeth not sure if gland is involved feel tender under my jaw left side
Hello there,
According to the clinical history provided by you, I would like to tell you that soreness in the gum can be
- due to inflammation of gums known as Gingivitis
- localised periodontitis,
- it can also be from infected bottom front tooth spreading its infection to the surrounding tissue, or
- can be a salivary gland swelling.
Exact diagnosis & treatment can be made on visual and radiological examination.
I would suggest you to visit a Dentist and get a thorough examination done.
You would require OPG radiograph to confirm the diagnosis.
I would advise you to follow a few instructions in order to relief pain ;
-Go for symptomatic treatment of full mouth scaling and polishing.
-Take warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.
-Use betadine mouthwash once a day.
Hope this answered your query. If you have any other queries, I will be glad to answer.
Take care!
