General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Hard lump in the jaw could be a growth arising from the jaw bone. If I were your family physician, I would advise you for an x ray of the facial bones, and if the growth confirmed to be arising out of bone, I would refer you to a maxillo fascial specialist for a proper management. In case of a soft tissue lump, I would prefer a general surgeon/plastic surgeon.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
