Hi I have a small hole in my gums on the bottom front. All the teeth above are extremely sensitive and painful. My jaw is getting tight and my chin feels swollen and so tender that it hurts to touch. All my teeth are hurting. I grind my teeth at night
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The swelling in the chin and hole in the gums can be because of the pus discharging sinus tract secondary to tooth or gum infection. The sensitivity in the teeth can be because of the exposed root surface of the teeth because of the recessed gums. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Get a radiograph done in relation to lower teeth and confirm the diagnosis. Later once the diagnosis is confirmed, it can be treated accordingly.Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole. Do saline gargling. Get the treatment done as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
