What Causes Soft Gums With Swelling On Face?
hello Dr, The entire left side of my face has been swollen for nearly a week, my gums in that area is bubbling up, soft but scary feeling. This is very painful, I thought it would go down after a few days. But days pass and no kind of improvement has occured. Should I go to a doctor at a emergency room or go to a dentist?

Hi, in my opinion u should see a dentist at the earliest and not ignore it, as per ur symptoms it seems to be an infection which needs to be investigated for the reason for infection and treating it with antibiotics and analgesics and treating the reason as well, if u want me to help me more u can upload a few pics of ur swelling and intra oral pics and if u hv any latest xrays.
wish u early recovery n all the best
