Question

I've got some swelling in my inner cheek, right near the last teeth on the lower jaw on the right side, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

You may be experiencing swelling due to an infection in your mouth. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort and inflammation. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.

Question

I'm really worried. A couple of days ago, I accidentally hit my wife on her right cheek, and now her jaw on that side is swollen. It was starting to get better, and she didn't have any pain for about two weeks. But suddenly, yesterday, she's in a lot of pain again, and the swelling has increased. Should we see a dentist, or would a regular doctor be better for this?
