How To Cure Lump And Pain Beneath The Jaw Line?

Hi, I'm having tooth pain and right beneath my tooth on my jawline I have a lump it is also sore all around my tooth, in the gums, hurts. I've never had any problems with this tooth such as sensitivity or pains before other than a small cavity in it good many years ago that got filled. What is causing this?

Hello Dear
Thanks for your query, I will be most happy if I could help you out so no need to worry much.
I have thoroughly gone through your query and your mentioned signs and symptoms suggest that you might be suffering from dental abscess or say tooth abcess. And the lump bneath that tooth may be the abcess filled sinus tract through which pus comes out.
It is possible that your filled tooth developed caries (cavity) bneath the filling material and infected the pulp of the tooth which gradually caused the abscess.

• I will advice you to get an appointment with a dentist as early as possible so that he/she can do thorough clinical examination and will take the radiograph (X ray) to confirm the diagnosis and start the needful treatment (Procedure+Medication).
• In your case, it is very much possible that Root Canal Treatment of the offending tooth will solve out the problem.

Hope this will help you. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are free to ask me any time.
Take Care

Regards
