Doctor if you could help me ill be really happy ... x
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Painful lump under the tongue can be either a gingival abscess due to accumulation of bacterial plague and calculus deep inside the gum pockets . Or it can be a periodontal pocket arriving from the infected tooth. Visit to the dentist get a checkup done . Take an x-ray of the involved tooth, if the tooth is infected go for Root Canal treatment of tooth and Chat Doctor.  Get complete mouth scaling and polishing ,
