Why my gums are sore and bruised?
Patient: I have a crown on a tooth and about a week ago I started having pain next to it.  The tooth does not hurt but my gums are sore and it looks like a small bruise next to my crown.  The pain has not worsened but has not gone away.  should I see my dentist or my doctor? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting the query,      I would suggest you to apply dologel oral ointment topically over the bruise at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, maintain a good oral hygiene take multivitamin suplements, if the syptoms still persists get it examined by the Dentist.Take care!
