Hello and thanks for consulting HCM.

i have read your query and i think it could be an infection causing abccess formation.

infection under your chin below your front teeth can be due to following reasons:
1. due to cavity in the tooth
2. gum inflammation ( gingivtiis or periodontitis)
3. Trauma from occlusion (TFO)

1. if you have any cavity related to those teeth you should consult a dentist.they may take an x ray to find out the extent of infection and plan the treatment like RCT (if needed).

2. if its due to gum inflammation you can have a complete mouth cleaning done

3. some time it can be due to TFO. in that case doctor might check your bite and adjust it if necessary

Hope this answers your query

Regards
Dr. Shesh
