My the front of my bottom gum is sore. Not the entire gum, though, just a small area below one tooth. It is a little inflamed and redder than the rest of my gum. There s no real pain unless I touch it. I m not sure what is wrong with it. Should I just take an aspirin or is it more serious than that?
Hello thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor.the gum in lower front tooth could be due to gingivitis and periodontitis if the etiology is due to tartar or calculus, it could also be due to deep dental caries resulting in periapical abscess, so get an Iowa radiograph done to check for bone loss, depth of caries if any, also take a course of antibiotics and analgesics for the same under the guidance of your physician.hope it helps, take care,
