[|Human|] Hi there, i am having pain in the lower-right jaw, i only feel the pain where i push and the bottom-right part of my face is a bit swollen. The pain seems to be somehow under the teeth , and the gums are swollen over ~3 teeth in that area (and hard when touched) I went to the dentist 1 week ago to have a root canal on the opposite side of the mouth, and to my knowledge i don t have any problematic teeth on the side it hurts now. Also, when tapping the teeth or eating i feel no pain whatsoever.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i would like to inform you that pain with swollen gums is something which is following infection, which either may be from a decayed tooth or infected gums. If the tooth is not hurting on chewing food or on tapping then it is most probably gum infection, Thorough cleaning (removal of tartar) will help resolve the infection. But in order to confirm the cause, a dentist needs to examine the oral cavity thoroughly, I will advise you to see your dentist soon. Until then, you can perform warm saline rinses(3- 4 times. Day) to relief pain and swelling, use an antibacterial mouth rinse(twice/day), Do not apply any hot compresses over the swelling. I hope this answer was useful, i wish you good health. Take care.
