Mouth cheek pain
For the past 3-4 days my gums on top right jaw were hurting alot. A white layer was developed and hell lot of blood came out while brushing. Eventually after brushing rigrously on that area the pain has gone down. Gums became soft and white sticky material came out on putting the finger there. Now that pain has subsided but on the cheek bone I can see a bubble like spot. That is causing me pain and a difficulty in opening my mouth without pain. Kindly give home remedies till I can see a dentist

hello,
you can do warm salt water rinses at home. this will give you temporary relief from pain. You need to visit a dentist and get an x-ray done. there might be infection to the roots of the tooth. you need to get it treated.

Hello..it may be gum disease in which pus(sticky material) formed underneath the gums which may be called as abscess.. and the so called white layer is may be calculus... so please visit your dentist as soon as possible so that the underlined infection must be cleared by pus drainage and subsequent supra & sub gingival scaling inorder to prevent the further complications like facial swelling or the infection may spread to surrounding sinus/ear. Untill salt water gorgle may help you a little bit. THANK YOU
