my tooth husts when i bite down and the gums on top of it hurt as well and now i have bumps at the side of my gums the gum pain is also spreading to the other side of my face my dentist said its because the bottom tooth has a cavity but what about my gums why are they so sore they ve been like this for atleat two-three days now and the pain is spreading
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the gums could be because of the chronic trauma by the sharp edges from the decayed tooth. The pain in the tooth could be because of the infection in the tooth. Consult an oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out the tooth infection. If there is tooth infection get the tooth treated with root canal treatment and get the excess gums removed surgically. You can also take a course of antibiotics like penicillin 500 mg TID and metronidazole 400 mg bid for 3 days. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
