What Causes Pain At The Base Of The Last Tooth?
Hello Doctor,
My query is about Gutkha. I was addicted to Gutkha for a few years and I have quit it now since 3 weeks successfully. Yes true. Not a single packed in these 3 weeks. But am facing a mild pain at the base of my last tooth. It's not so severe. I see that some parts of my enamel look like bulged and they pain sometimes. But the pain underneath the last teeth is some what continuous and most of the times there's no pain at all. Would you please advise me on this.
Thank you

Hi
Thank you for your query with HCM,
It is very much appreciated as you have stopped gutkha.
Comming to your problem it is not that enamel has bulges it might be the gum that has swollen up.
You might have an periapical infection in relation to that tooth since it is broken.
It would have better if you had mentioned whether is there any decay or not in relation to the same tooth.
Whatever I suggest you visit your oral surgeon fir best treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
