What Causes Swelling Of Gums And Itching On Jaw?
I have been having bouts of swelling on the inside of my gums just in the middle of my jaw and now I have horrible itching on the outside of my jaw. My dentist sent me to a specialist requestiong a biopsy and the doc said he would not do the test becasue he was sure I am just biting my jaw. That is not the case and now I have lots of itching along my jaw line and the feeling of tingling especially when I eat. I went back to my primary doc and she things there is a stoine lodged. She suggesting eating sour candy That does not seam to be helping either Any suggestions ?

Other reasons are if your on continous medication for some medical illness.
If there is no pus discharge or swelling near your jaw line than might be nerve disorder.
