Pain in Gum

30 year old patient came to my office with pain in his lower gum. (Previously he visited my office due to his acute low back pain and had a very positive experience with acupuncture)

A few weeks ago he was brushing his teeth in a hurry and he hit his lower gum really hard with the plastic head of his tooth brush by accident.  At that moment it didn't hurt so much but gradually pain got worse especially when he moves his lower lip up and down.

First treatment

LI 11- only 10% improvement according to him
SP 3 + didn't do anything

then LV1 - additional 50% better (LV1- is chosen as to tonify SP)
