What causes pain in the last lower left tooth region?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am suffering from pain in the left lower jaw. I do not have any tooth pain, but the skin surrounding the last tooth is troubling me.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I think it can be due to pericoronitis. This is a condition where the tissue over the erupting wisdom tooth will get inflamed. Apply anesthetic gel in that area. Do lukewarm saline mouth rinse three to four times a day. If possible attach a picture for better diagnosis.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
