39 yrs old, in good heatlh. Was eating popcorn balls over the weekend and Monday noticed that teeth were sore and the roof of my mouth was a little swollen. Today I woke up and the roof of my mouth is swollen more but the teeth do not hurt as bad? Got any ideals?
The swelling could be in relation to the infection tooth, the infection in the tooth might have spread to the periapical area leading to swelling. I would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the region. A root canal treatment has to be performed. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. Drainage of pus is required. At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
