What Can Be Done To Cure Molar Tooth Infection With Swelling In Jaw Line?
Hi, my two back molar teeth have booth got missing filling that have fallen out over time. As of yesterday my back two teeth were extremely sensitive and when I awoke this morning they no longer hurt but my face along my jaw line looked as tho I had a golf ball in my cheek!

Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with HCM.
It looks that as the fillings of your back tooth were dislodged and the tooth was sensitive also it means that now the tooth has been infected and you have to get re-restoration done.
And also an x - ray should be done to see the level of the infection, if it has reached the apical area then a root canal treatment has to be done.
I think you should visit your dentist for the treatment.
Hope it will help you.
