What Causes Pain In Gums And Roof Of Mouth?

Hi. My gums are in serious pain right now. It is more at the roof of mouth behind front three teeth on left side and on the same bottom area (1 tooth), but mostly at the top! It is more like a bruised feeling of pain. It is worsened when i chew and smoke. What could this be?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have pain in gums and roof of the mouth this can be due to infection in gums or tooth infection or due to history of trauma due to periodontal ligament injury or due to habit of smoking causing smokers palate .
Dont worry I will suggest you to quit your smoking habit first , do warm saline rinses , maintain proper oral hygiene , for inflamation in gums you can apply ointment like stolin gum paint .
Consult dentist for visual examination and treatment .

Hope this will help you.
