hello im 28 years old the last 2 days i have been experiencing mouth pain in the bottom of my left side of mouth. it hurts when my upper teeth touch them and my jaw on the left side hurts. I have a broken tooth there with a pretty huge hole in it that i have had for years...Could my teeth be infected? My side feels swollen also. Any advice?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Your broken tooth has developed infection, pain along with swelling indicates infection in the tooth eight had spread to the periapical tissues leading to abscess formation. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the x-ray done the both will either go for root canal treatment or extraction depending upon the x-ray. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics under prescription of your Dentist. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope this helps out.REGARDS.
