Suggest Treatment For Pain In Back Of Mouth Below The Gumline

Hi, I have an aching pain in the back of my mouth on the right side. It is below the gumline. My teeth don't hurt, only the area below the gumline when touched. I looked and I can see a very fine white line running horizontally across exactly where the pain is, what could this be?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have pain in gum this can be due to inflamation of gingiva may be due to gingivitis , periodontal problem leads to periodontitis , impaction of wisdom tooth or due to leukoedema or lichen planus codition.
For this I will suggest you that you should consult oral sugeon and go for visual examination of oral cavity , if it is due to gingival or periodontal problem go for oral prophylaxis, In meantime you can do warm saline rinses , for pain you can take analgesic like paintol or paracetamol by consulting with your doctor .

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards ,
