Why my gum is swollen around my tooth?
Patient: on the upper left part of my jaw my gum is swollen around my tooth. the tooth itself is very sensitive, even when i drink water and it touches the tooth it hurts, and to make things worse i don't feel to well. i have this headache, sluggish feeling. what could it possibly be? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting the query,       This could be due to infection in the tooth, i would suggest you to get a checku done take an IOPA x-ray of the region. At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.Go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.Take care!
