Visitor asks:
Hello,
for the last 4 days I have had severe pain in the mandibular tubercle area, the gum is swollen and very soft. I have a wisdom tooth, of which only half the tooth is visible above the gum level. I also have a lot of pain under the mandible, most likely a lymph node. I would like to know what is causing the pain in the tubercle area, since my dental hygiene is at a high level.
Thank you in advance for your answer and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!
Based on what you have written, I believe this is inflammation of the periodontal tissues around the last molar. The inflammation is caused by bacteria that accumulate in a relatively deep pocket around the wisdom tooth. The area is very difficult or almost impossible to clean. First we try to clean the area. If the inflammations recur, I recommend removal of the wisdom tooth.
Have a nice day!
