What Happens During an Emergency Exam?
Swelling in the jaw can occur for several reasons, including:
-
A gum infection caused by bacteria can result in painful swelling and pus build. If not treated, the infection can spread.
-
When wisdom teeth don’t fully emerge or grow at an angle, they can press against other teeth, causing pain, swelling, and infections.
-
Temporomandibular Joint issues affect the joints connecting your jaw to your skull, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.
-
Blockages or infections in the salivary glands can cause jaw swelling, pain, and difficulty swallowing.
