What Causes Soreness Between Jaw And Teeth And Swollen Gum?

Hello! When I woke up this morning I noticed sornness between my jaw and teeth. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that there were redness and that my gum around my teeth was swollen. What could be causing this? It has been sore all day, and this is the first time this has ever happened.

Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Is this soreness restricted to one particular tooth. Is there any cavity or history of trauma in that tooth? It seems like periapical abscess. I suggest you to visit a dentist. After examination and x-ray, he can decide if it requires RCT etc.
Meanwhile you can start antibiotic and painkiller course after prescription from dentist. Do warm saline rinses. Maintain oral hygiene. Avoid acidic and spicy food and beverages.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.
