Pain Under Jaw, Lump Under Gum Line. Delivered Baby Month Back. What Could Be This?
I am 34 years old, 130 lbs in good health and just had my third baby 6 weeks ago. I have been having minor aching pain in right jaw an thought I may have been grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw at night as I have a prior history of this. I looked yesterday because pain has increased and there is a hard lump under my gum line in my mouth under my back molar (it almost feels like bone or another tooth) that was not there previously. Any idea what it could be? I have regular dental check ups every 6 months and nothing like this was on prior xrays. Should I make an appointment to see my dentist? Cold it have anything to do with hormones post pregnancy?
Your clinical symptoms suggest that you have developed the lesion in the mouth due to hormonal changes in pregnancy, Fix an appointment with the Dentist and get a thorough clinical checkup done, take an OPG radiograph which will help to confirm the diagnosis and plan the appropriate treatment. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouth wash rinses. Maintain a good oral hygiene.
