The pain in your gums and lower front teeth could be due to a number of reasons, but one potential cause is an infection.
Here's a breakdown of a possible reason for the pain:
Potential Cause: Tooth Infection
A severe and chronic bottom toothache that causes throbbing or shooting pain, along with gum inflammation, could indicate an abscessed tooth or a root infection.
Symptoms often include:
- Throbbing or shooting pain in your lower front teeth.
- Inflamed gums.
- Swollen glands.
- Teeth sensitive to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
- Pain when biting down.
What to do
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should see a dentist as soon as possible to determine the exact cause of the pain and get proper treatment. An untreated infection can spread and lead to more serious health problems.
