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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been having jaw pain and discomfort on the side of my face, and I just realized there's a clicking sound when I open and close my mouth on the left side. Could this be TMJ? What exercises or treatments can help without needing surgery?
Yes, the jaw pain, discomfort, and clicking sound on one side could be indicative of a Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. However, it's important to see a dentist or doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Numerous non-surgical options can help manage the pain and clicking, including physical therapy, medications, dietary changes, and home remedies

I've been struggling with bad breath, but I don't have any cavities or gum issues that I know of. I'm really starting to get worried because I can't figure out what's causing it. Could it be something else, or is there something I might be overlooking? Any advice on what might be going on or how to deal with this would be really appreciated.
Bad breath can sometimes be caused by a dry mouth, digestive issues, or dietary habits even if your teeth and gums are healthy. Stay hydrated, clean your tongue daily, and consider checking for underlying causes like acid reflux or sinus issues.
