Jaw bone below tooth hurts from the outside but no pain in the tooth or in gums
So I've recently noticed a slight pain only when I press a certain point on my lower jaw bone on the outside of my mouth below a couple of teeth (around my premolars and molars) so I panicked and started pushing on all my teeth in that area and there is no pain when I press, no pain when I eat, no sensitivity to hot or cold on any of them and no pain in the gums either. I press all the way down but I feel nothing from the inside just from the outside. It only hurts when I press it and it goes away instantly (I know - don't press it but now I can't stop)
Could this be related to teeth or something else?
I do have an appointment with the dentist for 1st August so I am planning on asking him then but I don't want to make an appointment just for that.
I had a root canal 9 months ago on my lower first molar and it has a white composite material over it until I can afford a crown on that side and sometimes if I push on the gum below the tooth, It feels sore, not painful and not all the time and that tooth isn't painful to chew on either so I don't know if that has something to do with it.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
