The past few days, the gums around my lower left molars has been quite irritated, as well as the gum that's around/slightly covering my upper left wisdom tooth. I thought I could have ate something too hot, and slightly burnt my mouth. But this is only on the inside, the side closest to my tongue. As well, on my gum next to my last lower molar, on the tongue side, there's red dots where it's irritated. The only pain I'm having is when I'm trying to brush my teeth and it hurts when my toothbrush touches the last molar. I have been having some jaw pain as well but I think that's just from stress as it's not really near this and I tend to get jaw pain when I'm stressed out. I have tried a warm salt water rinse this morning, and it helped ever so slightly. Could it be just a burn from hot food?
I am going to give it until Tuesday and if it isn't any better, I will force myself to ring my dentist and get an appointment.
Side note - I can post a photo if needed.
I thought I would ask for some advice because this is driving my anxiety levels up the wall and stressing me out more.
