So i've had this pain in the back of my jaw (right below my ear) for the past two weeks.
This morning the pain was gone but I now have a red bump with a tiny white tip on my second to last lower tooth.
The pain from the past two weeks isnt in the same spot as this bump
My mother told me it might be an abscess & i was jsut wondering if it may be that
i looked it up and they are caused by bad hygene.
i take very good care of my teeth and now i am worried
the bump doesnt hurt ... yet.. but looks like it will
is this a dental abscess?
thanks for your time!!
i apreciate it :)

They are not always caused by poor hygiene! Silly internet! I cannot say for sure but it sounds like your describing an abscess. I would go to your doctor for a certain diagnosis and to get a prescription for antibiotics if it is an abscess. This is a problem that will most likely not go away on its own without treatment.
