-You can try rinsing with warm salt water to reduce pain and inflammation. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek may also help numb the area. However, it's best to see a dentist soon to get the cavity treated.

Accepted Answer

It sounds more likely to be related to a wisdom tooth issue or a dental infection, especially if there's swelling and pain in the jaw. Cancer typically involves more noticeable changes like persistent sores, bleeding, or lumps. It's best to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Accepted Answer

The visible gap and exposed tooth fragment after wisdom teeth removal are common concerns; to minimize risks of infection or complications, avoid chewing hard or sticky foods, brushing too aggressively, or using a straw for 2-3 weeks; maintain good oral hygiene with gentle saltwater rinses and soft-bristled toothbrush; and schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist as recommended to assess healing progress and address any concerns

Question 6

I have swelling on the inside of my cheek near the last tooth on the right side of my lower jaw. It's making me feel really uncomfortable. Do you know what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing swelling due to an infection in your mouth. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort and inflammation. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
