Hello, Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have pain in jaw yes this can be treated by scaling and root planning if it is due to periodontitis .
If this jaw pain and swelling is due to periodontitis you should consult dentist and go for investigations and treatment it can be treated according to investigation diagnosis treated in one week to two week there is now to worry.
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Hope this will help you.
