Back of gum is swollen around mature wisdom tooth, face swollen, bottom of jaw bone hurting badly and sensitive, hurts to swallow, to chew, so much pain I cannot sleep. Not tooth pain, but seems a pain of inflammation/throbbing. What could it be and should I see a doctor or dentist?
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Every symptom that you have mentioned here are due to single cause, the infected last molars or wisdom teeth. Please see your dentist soon. Get the x-rays done and starts with antibiotics upon consultation. Next step is to take antibiotics and get the extraction done. This will solve all your worries and present symptoms. For now please take tablet Coquitlam every eight hourly, for immediate relief until you see your dentist. Follow good oral hygiene measures and do take good care of yourself. Let me know for further doubts. Thanks.
