There can be three cases: 1. Are you a smoker or areca nut chewing or takes a lot of spices? It can be due to Oral submucous fibrosis. 2. Your wisdom tooth may be erupting. 3. Did you have a recent oral treatment involving anaesthetic injection? Kindly consult your dentist nearby to rule out the cause.
