[|Human|] Swollen cheek and gum. At the top of the gum meets the cheek. Its been swollen for three days and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Should I be worried about waiting so long or will one more night be okay. I have no pain really just a little discomfort due to the swelling of my cheek.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling in the cheeks and gums can be because of the tooth or gum infection. The vestibular obliteration can be because of the collection of the pus. Nothing to be panic. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) till you consult the dentist. Then I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
